Words r us

[pbray]

6500 words written on the new project this weekend. And I liked both writing it, and reading it after it was done.

It's a good place to stop, and there's stuff I need to research. No idea if I'll get any writing done this week (crazy day job hours run through Thursday), but I hope to get back to this by the weekend.

I want more weekend. All I managed to do was pull together tax stuff. I want to get it mailed out this week so it's out of the way, but still. Need to lobby for 4-day weekends.

The only thing wrong with weekends is that they are not long enough. I suspect that if the week ever evolved to have a two day work week and a five day week end, we would still complain about the shortness of the weekend!

I saw you were doing tax stuff, while I'm still at the stage where I'm throwing receipts in a folder to be dealt with later...

Four day weekends would be an awesome idea. I'd settle for three day weekends... or even two day weekends where I wasn't expected to work at the day job between 6PM on Friday and 6AM on Monday.

And if I won the lotto and retired from work all together, I'd complain that without workdays the weekends didn't feel special any more :-)

Woohoo! Wonderful.

That is ridiculous. Can't they hire/train back-up/support for you?

Was a nice feeling to finally be productive.

There's a thought that things might settle down a bit... later... sometime this spring... when more resources come on board... or they shift workload around... or the luck god drops by my office...

For US-based employees the utilization curve continues to trend up, with 50 hour workweeks being considered slacking off, and working weekends/holidays during the monthly financial close cycle is expected not extraordinary.

But it's a paycheck, and I need to keep working for at least a while longer, unless I can score a movie deal.

Good to know that they have that work-life balance thing all figured out. They figure they don't need it.

Around here, work/life integration is the new catch phrase, they've given up on pretending that there's a balance.
