Why do we have 5 working days?
The Pankaj-Kaushal model describes, in five discrete stages, the process by which people deal with the grief and tragedy of a work week:

1. Denial (Otherwise known as Monday): The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
Wasn't it friday just now? No. It can't be true.

2. Anger (Tuesday): "Why me? It's not fair."
Why do I have to be here and attend all these meetings?

3. Bargaining (Wednesday): "Just let this finish before friday! Please god."
I'll fix all the bugs in the next release

4. Depression (Otherwise known as Thursday): "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
Can't even goto a pub and drink. Have to attend conf call in the morning.

5. Acceptance: (Friday) "It's going to be OK."
Last day, and then the weekend :)
