“Fridays are the worst days of the week for me, because it means I don’t have work the next two days. And now Monday is 10 days away.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists only of Wikipedia articles about 'Black Friday' and 'Easter Monday,' which discuss general holidays and days of the week but do not confirm the specific context (Fridays being difficult because of the following two days off, or Monday being ten days away) mentioned in the claim. Therefore, the evidence is insufficient to verify the claim, but since evidence was provided, it cannot be marked 'insufficient_evidence' based on the instructions. It is treated as single-source evidence supporting a general concept but not the specific claim.
