Sunday

A Sunday afternoon, shown shortly before 4:17 pm.

Sunday is the first or last day of the week; its committee meets every Sunday, always too early or too late.

Queue

A queue, waiting.

A queue is a line of people waiting, and the other queue is always moving faster until you join it.

Hour

An hour, shown on a clock, passing.

An hour is sixty minutes long, except the last hour of a work day, which is the same length but more of it.

Monday

Monday, arriving on schedule.

Monday arrives every week whether or not anyone asks; attempts to skip it have so far resulted in Monday.

Wednesday

Wednesday, in the middle of the week.

Wednesday is the middle of the week, and is spelled with a silent d that has never explained itself.

Thursday

A Thursday, depicted on a calendar.

Thursday is the day that is almost Friday, and has spent its entire existence being almost Friday.

Tuesday

Tuesday, seen from Monday.

Tuesday is the day that follows Monday; scientists confirm it will do so again this week, despite strong objections.

Minute

A clock, showing a minute as it happens.

A minute lasts 60 seconds, except the one before lunch, which lasts about 400.

Meeting

A meeting room, between meetings.

A meeting is a gathering whose main outcome is another meeting; the last meeting that didn’t schedule one was in 1957.

Time

An hourglass, measuring time while using it.

Time is what stops everything happening at once, and it flies when you’re having fun, at about 60 minutes an hour.
