00:00 - 00:03It's Friday morning in the Bristol office
00:04 - 00:05You've got a desk on your favourite bank
00:05 - 00:07right near the cupboards
00:08 - 00:12You've made it in for 9am,
00:12 - 00:15and your workload is looking light for the day
00:17 - 00:19Excellent, another relaxed Friday of chatting shit
00:19 - 00:21and 20 minute coffee breaks
00:24 - 00:26Hannah
00:27 - 00:28Friday
00:31 - 00:33Friday is now a team day, all of senior leadership is here
00:34 - 00:36You are sat between Niamh and Phill
00:53 - 00:58Everyone Grade 6 or above, apart from Xav, leave now
01:13 - 01:15What the fuck is this?
01:15 - 01:17Fridays are supposed to be sacred!
01:18 - 01:23I work hard all fucking week for what?
01:25 - 01:28The promise of Friday
01:29 - 01:31A bit of respite from the
01:31 - 01:34depression of having to pretend
01:34 - 01:37to enjoy things like WFD screenings
01:37 - 01:40and consistency checking ES chapters!
01:40 - 01:42Hannah, these are key early career development tasks
01:42 - 01:46Bullshit! It's mind numbing nonsense!
01:46 - 01:48Hannah, if Niamh could hear your language
01:48 - 01:52She wouldn't hear a thing if we kept the old Fridays!
01:53 - 01:54I can't believe it!
01:56 - 01:57I should have been heading to Baristas
01:57 - 02:00at 9:15 for an unearned 45 minute break
02:00 - 02:03now I'm going to have to be chained to my desk all day!
02:04 - 02:08God forbid a girl wants to speak her mind to colleagues
02:08 - 02:13without meddling team leads eavesdropping
02:14 - 02:16Then having to explain myself
02:17 - 02:21in yet another line manager catch up!
02:27 - 02:29I'm going to have to work until 5:30
02:30 - 02:34on a Friday, the one day when I should
02:34 - 02:36be heading to the pub at 4
02:41 - 02:42How could
02:43 - 02:47senior leadership take this one luxury from me?
02:48 - 02:53Don't they know Fridays belong to the juniors?
02:54 - 02:56I bet you'll all be quietly working hard
02:56 - 02:59maybe taking one pathetic coffee break
03:00 - 03:02and heading back to your desks after 3 minutes!
03:04 - 03:07Don't cry Sophie, she'll still come to your birthday
03:14 - 03:16I should have gone and done uni properly
03:19 - 03:23at a proper uni, not a shit one like UWE
03:25 - 03:26find some joy
03:31 - 03:33because there's none here anymore
03:40 - 03:46Arup has taken everything from me, my time, my energy, my freedom
03:46 - 03:49All I had left was casual Fridays
03:53 - 03:56I'm going on sabbatical
