Early weekend

[caddyman]

Days off are always good, even if there's nothing much planned for them.

I never quite know which I prefer: a Friday as today, a Monday or a midweek day. There are fine gradations of pleasure to be had from them all. A Friday off, for example, means that the weekend arrives 24 hours early and when it's over the weekend is still to come. Monday is similar, but obviously reversed: the weekend is over, but... BONUS! Both the Friday and the Monday skive benefit too, from the three-day syndrome, where it just feels a little like a holiday as opposed to simply a day off.

Midweek days off are a slightly different beast. There is the fun to be had the night before when we can stay out late on a school night and follow the excess up with a nice lie in and the joy that is to be garnered from lounging around when all else are at work seems heightened on a midweek day - particularly a Wednesday. That's there on every day off of course, but particularly piquant Tuesday to Thursday inclusive.

Must nip off shortly. I have to pick up a package for Furtle.

It is, but it was the one sticking point when the 13:00 Friday finish was negotiated 15 or so years back. The alternative was to stick with a more balanced 5-day week, with worked Friday afternoons.
