Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?
Every day is a work day. Weekends vs weekdays are meaningless constructs.
The firm I work for has flex scheduling, so I get a half-day every Friday. (Could be a 4-10 if I wanted, but I don’t want to do a 4-10)
I get all my chores done by 3PM on Fridays and then the entire weekend is my oyster.
It’s glorious.
I used to get the Saturday equivalent, but with my anhedonia, even lounging feels like a chore.
Nah, I have kids, there are no weekends
Was going to say this. The work week is easier than weekends.
Lol yeah, especially working from home
I just continually dread existence, with temporary times where I’m unable to cope with it
I’m glad I don’t gotta go to work, but that’s basically it.
More of a happy it’s Saturday feeling.
When you do this long enough, not having to work for a few days is all the reward you need to make Friday exciting.
That and the fact you can turn off the morning alarm!
Hello, fellow oldhead!
I work two jobs and have no days off but Friday is the start of not having to drive the next morning so yeah, in a way.
Yes. It’s a shorter work day.
I’m pretty sure the way to cultivate it is to
My schedule usually changes every few months and it’s happened often enough now that any day feels like Friday if I don’t have to work the day after.
I am usually exited to go back to work on Monday. However I look forward to two days of no meetings (just my timeline), waking up whenever I want and having brakfast at 10/11 or playing video games all day long.
So not excitement but just a general happiness.
Usually yes but not lately because I’ve been having to work most weekends. I haven’t had a weekend off in a few months. Just finished working a few hours ago actually. But I’m blessed to be in a well paying job and im getting great experience. Gotta make hay while the sun is shining.
Friday is our staff meeting, in which we get a free lunch for attending - so somewhat, yeah!
