We've always chosen a Tue or Wed morning, first thing in the a.m., for the same reasons mentioned in the previous posts.  The reason we didn't use Monday, was that it is often a holiday (for government organizations) and we could easily go without a meeting for quite a while, depending on the time of year and # of holidays and where they fall.  It also gives us all one day to get into the week, to cover what happened over the weekend, etc before we meet to bring everyone up to speed.  So far, this seems to be working great.  (It also lets bossie know who is consistently late, as they seem unable to remember which morning we're doing the meeting and end up late to it too.)  Another reason not to pick a Friday or Monday is that those tend to be the days that folks pick for a day off, to coincide with their weekend, and you can end up with very few people at your meeting if they're all on leave.  I couldn't imagine a staff meeting on a Friday afternoon... who would be paying attention??? Not me, I can honestly say that.
