A new survey from Accountemps finds that fifty-seven percent of 150 senior executives with the nation’s 1,000 largest companies polled identified Tuesday as the most productive day of the week for employees.
Interesting stuff — I know that Monday is never productive at this office. Monday morning’s email box holds client’s work requests — they’ve spent the week-end thinking of things they need. I never schedule outside appointments on Monday, but instead spend the day answering the phone and putting out fires. I would agree with Tuesday, and that’s exactly how I would’ve voted.

This post title makes me think of Popeye, which makes me immediately think of my brother, Scott. You remember! Popeye’s friend, Wimpy, loves to eat hamburgers but is too lazy to pay for them. He is always attempting to get someone to buy him lunch and uses the line, “I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
My brother is always the first to offer to pay for lunch, so that isn’t why the mere mention of anything to do with Popeye cartoons make me think of him. Why then? Because my Mother loves to tell the story of Scott’s distress over naming the new baby (me!). He was torn all to pieces because Mom refused to name me Olive Oil.
