Odin was the king of the Norse gods and goddesses and originally the name for the fourth day was \u2018Odin\u2019s Day\u2019. But that name didn\u2019t stick, and slowly it was shaped into what we now call wed &#8211; nes &#8211; day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I was a kid I thought it was called WED-nesday because you were supposed to have your wedding specifically on that day of the week. I don\u2019t dislike that logic because Wednesday needs something to spice it up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><em><strong>My breakdown of the days of the week:<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunday is dedicated to coming down from the weekend\u2019s high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monday gets to officially be the worst.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday I appreciate for not being Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Wednesday just marks the middle-<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday starts to build the anticipation for the weekend.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friday is widely accepted as the start of the weekend.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saturday IS the weekend!<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I guess this model has exhausted me. While the routine of a 5-day work week, bookended by two days of freedom keeps things steady, measured, and predictable, sometimes I want to shake it up a bit. At the time of this being written, the citizens of Scotland have just recently voted in favor of a four-day work week which should enter the trial phase soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wonder what that would look like for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><em><strong>More fun naming origins of the day\u2019s of the week:<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Celestial Bodies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saturday &#8211; Saturn\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunday &#8211; The Sun\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monday &#8211; The Moon<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Norse gods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday &#8211; Tiw, god of war, treaties, and justice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wednesday &#8211; Odin, king of Norse gods and attributed to wisdom and magic<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday from Thor &#8211; also god of war but with fertility, thunder, and lightning<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friday from Freya &#8211; also\u2026 god of war but with fertility and love<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m thinking about Wednesdays -you know- the day of the week you\u2019re actually not supposed to get married?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":4524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[345],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-your-guess","entry-card--square"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/wednesday.gif","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p86O3z-1aX","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4523"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4571,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4523\/revisions\/4571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academics.design.ncsu.edu\/yesand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
