friday mourning
So today I made a decision. I am going back to my five day work schedule.
I dislike this, because I loved my three day weekends. The problem is that as much as I hate adding Friday back to my schedule, worse was the feeling of resentment I would get whenever I had to give up part of my Friday to take some work call anyway, which was happening a lot.
I think that sucks more. Especially when I’d already put in 40+ hours by Thursday night.
So, while I’ll be going into work on Fridays now, I’ll be getting to sleep in a little longer, and I’ll have more than three or four hours between getting home from work and going to bed. I kind of want to see the sun again. I want to have time to ride my bike once the weather gets consistently nice again.
So that’s that. I think it’s going to work. And maybe I’ll actually be forced to take some time off now and then. I have more leave banked away than I know what to do with. Might as well build in some long weekends that I’ll actually get to use (because dammit, if I’m actually spending leave, I’m not answering the phone.
I freely admit, I work because it lets me afford to actually do the things that I really enjoy. With this job and this schedule, all I had time to do was work and sleep.
Not that sleeping isn’t nice, mind you…
