"Decision will be made on Friday"

But they never tell you which Friday do they?

I have a suspicion that this saying is the new "the cheque's in the post", but just as you can only wait so long for the one-winged cheque, there are only so many Friday disappointments you can endure before you have to chalk it up as another dead end.

I would love to believe the Account Manager means this Friday and I know every "ping" as a message drops into my inbox will set my heart racing, but there are so many Fridays still to come...
