how old were you when "friday night" ceased to be a big deal

[datasuspect]

and was just part of another day?

me - about 26

[anti-everything]

1. When I had a job where I had to work weekends.

Now that I'm not working weekends anymore, Friday night is drinking night again.

[Broken_Hero]

2. 20

When I started working for the deli/oe...mixed schedules every week, I worked on the weekends 99% of the time....

[Checkstub]

3. Does posting on DU count?

Holy shit! It could be happening as I type!

[Deja Q]

4. 19

I was 18 when I first dreamed of being 21 and boozing it up and gettin' a girlfriend and everything...

[hellbound-liberal]

5. 16 when I got my first job

Saturday night, however, was a different story!

[Left Is Write]

6. It's not a big deal?

Who knew?

[EFerrari]

7. It hasn't happened yet.

Maybe that's just immaturity? :shrug:

lol

[Maineiac]

8. It was just another night until Crim & I became friends

now it's my favorite night of the week.

9. It's still a big deal to me, just not in the same way it used to be.

I'm just so grateful to have three nights and two whole days before I have to be back at my horrible job that Friday night is like heaven to me. I don't care if all I do is go to the gym and get Thai food, it's still heaven. In terms of going out, when I was in my early 20s and in the prime of my "going out" years, I was in grad school full time, I worked retail full time, and I was broke. So back then Friday night was just the night before my busiest workday of the week. I suppose the last time Friday night was The Going Out Night was when I was in college.

10. 1968, when I became an airline pilot.

My 'days off' didn't necessarily include week ends.

[trof]

16. Oh, I was 27.

[bigwillq]

11. It's still a big deal to me.

I am 29. They have some good clubs here in CT that are always rocking on Friday's.

[Nicole]

12. It never was a big deal for me, Sat. night was.

Until I turned 40.

[fortyfeetunder]

13. Never occurred to me Fri meant something

My parents were terribly overprotective so Friday night going out was meaningless, even while I was in college (still lived at home). Once I moved out, partying was a foreign concept.

[Wcross]

14. I'm 43 and it STILL is a big deal although for a different reason.

It means (at least every other week) that I can sleep in past 3:30am. Imagine that, used to be I looked forward to the Friday night party now its the Saturday morning sleep in.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. It never was a big deal.

I've always been a social leper.

[datasuspect]

18. that's weird

i'm a social pariah

[alarimer]

17. It's never been a big deal to me

I have always spent most of them alone.

[datasuspect]

19. you're never alone when datasuspect is in your heart

datasuspect is love.

[av8rdave]

20. Friday night is still a big deal if I'm not working

Unfortunately, have to spend this Friday in Atlanta, because I have a morning sign in for a trip. Guess that one won't be a big deal :(

[JVS]

[Ariana Celeste]

38. i got arrested on drug charges

my party life is pretty much over for awhile x(

[Bullwinkle925]

22. 27 - when I had my daughter!

and, she was born on a Friday - prophetic, eh?

[Lyric]

23. 21--the year my son was born

It's hard to party when you have a little one. But I don't mind--I'd rather play Pokemon Sapphire with him than watch the Barbie Doll types play Beer Pong at the local dives :shrug:

[Auggie]

24. When I started working at home -- about 39

[Chan790]

25. Never!!!!!

If I reach that point...I'll be sad.

Long live youth!!!!!

[datasuspect]

34. i used to rock and roll all night and party every day

then it was once a week.

after a while, it was monthly.

now i can barely find any time in which to get funky.

[catmandu57]

26. When I became a professional drunkard

Friday nights just didn't mean the same thing. I was probably 22 or 23 back in the eighties when st. ronnie killed the economy here and my fiancee killed my heart, there wasn't anything else to do but to get drunk and stay that way.
Since then, I've sobered up, but now I'm too old for it to mean anything.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

27. Twenty years from now

...more or less.

[Wetzelbill]

28. never been a big deal to me

Saturday either. I always like to go out from time to time, but mainly I just like to chill out and read etc. Always have been like that.

[JVS]

29. still important

[BarenakedLady]

32. Probably around 1994

soooo around 25 or so...

[Wapsie B]

33. It's just another day for me for as long as I can remember.

:shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. It wasn't a big deal when I was 19-20 and worked weekends

but now I'm 21 and work m-f, so it's fantastic! ;)

[greatauntoftriplets]

36. Friday nights ARE a big deal!!!

I don't go out, but they mean I can sleep as long as I want the next two days. As wiped out as I am by the end of the week from a very stressful workplace, that extra sleep is badly needed.

[LaraMN]

37. Much like my birthday, NEVER!

Not that it often delivers, of course.

:P

[GalleryGod]

40. Never.

My Bride and I strolled the Art Galleries in Philly just this past Friday night...

[madrchsod]

41. when i work 2nd shift

even though i`m 60 friday night is what i look forward to..

[grannylib]

42. I'm 48 and it's STILL a big deal, and will be as long as I have to work for a living!

I love Friday nights. I don't go out or anything (I hate the bars; I'm a homebody) but I love it when the weekend is just beginning.

[Evoman]

43. About 24 or 25

I still like em, because I get to relax, but really....not a big deal.

[Bassic]

44. I'm 28

and Friday night is still a big deal. I don't know why.
