Out of it...

Vacation does a body good, going back to work-not so much. I am in a post vacation funk. I don't have any enthusiasm for work and I can't believe the kids go back to school in less than 2 weeks. I know as you get older the summer months seemingly go by quicker, but this one moved at the speed of light. We have 4 day work weeks at my job for about 2 months in the summer and everyone is always so excited right before they start. The anticipation of having Fridays off puts everyone in the best of moods. But as it gets closer to the time when we have to return to a 5 day week everybody starts acting all sad and ish. I think a 4 day work week should be the standard. I always get so much done and feel so well rested when I have Fridays off. This week the Mega Millions jackpot is 83 million. I put in my numbers yesterday, the only way to have a shorter work week is to not work at all. Wish me luck!

I hear you!
I'm lucky to have the summers off and it seems like they just fly by. When I start to complain though, I think of all the people that aren't so lucky and it gives everything a little, a wee bit more perspective. I love 4 day workweeks, I think it should be standard and probably a lot more would get done..do you have to make up by putting in extra hours the other four days?

Be Well!
