The Work Week

The Work Week

I had a longer weekend than usual. I added a few of my vacation days to the normal two-day weekend for a much needed break, and I’ve come to this conclusion:

Every week should consist of two work days and five days of weekend. Swear to God. The world would be such a happy, wonderful place if that were so. People could actually get things done and have some fun—imagine that!

Just yesterday, I managed to sell my books, watch a movie at the dome, visit the largest municipal park in the nation, clutch my seat in fear as H.E. drove along narrow, winding, hilly roads of expensive Hollywood neighborhoods like a maniac, and have some wonderful Japanese dinner at a place where everyone, servers and diners alike, actually spoke Japanese.

Now, if I’d had just the usual two-day weekend, I would not have been able to do any of the above yesterday. I would have been sitting at my computer at work, putting images up on the web instead.

How tragic is that?

This is why I need five- and six-day weekends every week. Every week, mind you. Even if I didn’t do a darn thing on the weekends, the work week is just too long. It’s all backwards, I tell you.

The work week is all wrong.

  1. I also decree that the two workdays in a week should include two hours of paid nap-time. The world would be a less grumpy place if all adults got sufficient sleep.

    The restaurant looks great. When I think Japanese, I always end up thinking ‘raw fish.’ Chris has taken up the challenge that one day he will convince me to try sushi and get me to like it. Hmpff. We’ll see. 🙂

    Glad you had such a good time!

  2. Definitely yes on the nap time!

    And when you do try sushi, I hope Chris starts you off with something tame like California Roll or Rainbow Roll. I don’t think you could jump straight into sashimi style foods.

    You might also want to try Dynamite. 🙂

  5. Five day weekends, definitely with pay. And if we don’t get our siestas, we get time and a half!

  6. More days off means more time to spend your money. I work three days a week (fri-sat-sun), make an above average salary, live a low cost lifestyle in a low cost state and you can trust me, that is not enough money for having all this time off. I do manage to have a nice suntan, however.
