Happy Friday! Special Thanks to everyone who works on weekend!

Happy Friday everyone!

Most people are happier on Friday because it is the last day of the work week. We look forward to being able to sleep in, spend time with family and friends, have brunch and rejuvenate. Most people usually are more relaxed on Friday and have a less stressful and more positive attitude knowing that tomorrow is the weekend.

When you work in a Hospital or in most service oriented industries, Friday might just be another work day as you have to work the weekend. Hence, in today's post, I would like to take an opportunity to thank all the men and women who work the weekend and highlight some of the attributes that contribute to the positive attitude of our colleagues.
