The often used phrase “at the end of the day” is really not the end of the day. The real end of the day is when the subject of the quote is really ended, finished or completed. While the phrase is catchy, it is inaccurate. The end of the day denotes a completion of the 24 hour cycle we know as a day, even though many of us sleep through about 8 hours of it. So the end of the day is just a way to convey a termination of a situation regardless of when the actual end of the day occurs. So at the end of the day there is no end of the day! At the end of the day – maybe this is why our Congress cannot do the job they pay themselves for in the time frame they have set as their working periods.
