Better Things to Do

It's time for us to rise up and take back Fridays. Who actually gets anything worthwhile accomplished on a Friday anyway? Two more hours per day for the first four days of the week and we're talking about permanent three day weekends. Something tells me that internet usage is vastly higher on Fridays as well. Sure every once in awhile we'll have to play catch up for screwing off earlier in the week, but even at that point doesn't most of it just get pushed into Monday.

Really this won't lead to much more free time, it basically frees up Friday for odd jobs and house chores that are also work. The beauty in this is that every weekend will actually have two free days for whatever you need to do. I know that this won't work for everyone since they'll just push an inordinate amount of kid's sporting events into this time frame, but it might save you an early Saturday morning.

There has to be more to gain economically from the added consumer interest from the extra weekend day than time lost. Face it, I'm typing this at work now and it won't affect my bottom line at month end or year end. We all just reach our breaking points by this time on Friday afternoons.

Weekend Wonderment

So you're coming to me for advice on what to do this weekend? Did you not just catch that I have such little going on inside my head at this point that I just blabbered about free Fridays for three paragraphs? OK, two and half paragraphs. Given the impending weather in the midwest and the time of year, I suggest that you take in a movie like Couples Retreat or the Invention of Lying. Not because I've seen them, but because I would like to. Outside of that, you're on your own this time around. Catch up on sleep for the week ahead.
