Actually, Einstein answered this with his Theory of Relativity, or E=MC2.
Time seems to follow a universal, ticktock rhythm.
But it doesn't.
In the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein determined that time is relative—in other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference. Just as observers in two different frames of reference don't always agree on how to describe the motion of a bouncing ball, they also don't always agree on when an event happened or how long it took. A second in one reference frame may be longer compared to a second in another reference frame.
The faster a clock moves, the slower time passes according to someone in a different frame of reference. To explain this bewildering result, physicists point to a thought experiment involving a clock that uses light to mark time. Although this "light clock" experiment is a hypothetical one, the same effects are true for any timepiece, from old-fashioned grandfather clocks to atomic clocks, the most accurate time-keeping devices available. Time is relative even for the human body, which is in essence a biological clock. The effect of time slowing down is negligible at speeds of everyday life, but it becomes very pronounced at speeds approaching that of light.
Or, as Einstein himself caricatured this matter in one quote:
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."

Yes Blondie Hot Hollister has pretty much summed it up. It has a lot to do with the "time fly's when you having fun" thing. Everyone who works, dreads monday's as this marks the start of a long working week. I think for those who hate their jobs, the weekends will seem to fly as they will be more cheerful doing things they want to do, instead of being at work. Although, I do suppose it helps if the person enjoy's their job (Very rare). It's a psychilogical thing.

Because there are only 2 days in a weekend for fun, but you have 5 days of boring work :[

I dont know but if I had a time machine I would definitely be taking I back to Friday evening right now - I dont want to go to work tomorrow!
Dont get me wrong I do like my work but I love my weekends off even more - especially when the weather is nice and I get to relax lots!

Cause time flies when you're having fun and that is usually on your days off. The weekends.

Weekdays would fly by just as quickly if you enjoyed what you were doing. Think about it.
