When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?

I'm pulling for Monday. Friday's already mostly a write-off.

I used to work a compressed week and started taking Monday but eventually it moved to Friday. When I took Monday off I felt like I had to pay for it with the next four days, when I took Friday it was like I was being rewarded with an early weekend.

I love using Wednesdays to clear leave (I know, not the best day in terms of utility for holidays and stuff) as you essentially create a new Friday. Work is so much more bearable.

What’s clearing leave? Is that an American concept?

Sounds like a military thing? Not a normal US civilian worker phrase.

Yes, paid time off requests or advanced request to use leave (doctor appointment, or other) is typical for any planned absenced in the US.
