The "Friday 3.00pm Syndrome"
I guess I have been diagnosed by it. And I think everyone has. No no ... don't try to hide it. Its but natural. Its called the "Friday 3.00pm Syndrome". You might have a better (more creative?) name :)
If I had to create a Wikipedia article on it and had to define it, the definition would be:
"At around 3.00pm on every Friday, the entire working class feels this "strong urge" to stop whatever activity they are doing in their office in anticipation of the free, lazy and carefree time they will have over the next two days. This "strong urge" coupled with junk emails discussing plans for dinners, movies, cricket (or any other sport) or outings make it almost impossible to concentrate on work. People then simply while away time by reading about movie reviews, restaurant ratings, discussing sports events or even reading blogs! Some go overboard, doing things like watching youtube videos, e-window-shopping on Amazon, Deals2Buy, Ebay or even Craigslist or even going home early under the pretext of (NOT) working from home.
People who show this type of behavior are said to have been diagnosed by the 'Friday 3pm Syndrome'."
More creative and complicated definitions welcome!!

To counter the 3 PM Fri syndrome, the scientific community came up with the WOF tactic. This is the Working On Friday tactic. To show your boss that you are hardworking, you actually stay back on a friday night and do what you would if you were home - e-window-shopping. :D
A name in the past given for the 3 PM Fri syndrome is TGIF.
