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.
get a worse or more boring job.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a job with weekends off. Or even any other specific days consistently off from one week to the next, more generally. It does sound nice though, I think I’d like that.
When you do this long enough, not having to work for a few days is all the reward you need to make Friday exciting.
Hello, fellow oldhead!
That and the fact you can turn off the morning alarm!
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’m glad I don’t gotta go to work, but that’s basically it.
it’s more like relief, I get home and I instantly drop into bed all comfy knowing I’ll be snoozing late tomorrow.
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’m pretty sure the way to cultivate it is to
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.
More of a happy it’s Saturday feeling.
I used to get the Saturday equivalent, but with my anhedonia, even lounging feels like a chore.
Yes. It’s a shorter work day.
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.
Yes, but it’s actually an “It’s Thursday!” feeling.
The four day work week is amazing.
I see you’re from Germany (or at least on a German instance). Is the four-day work week becoming common there and throughout Europe?
As I live in the US, I’ll probably die before something like that is implemented here.
Germany is and always will be the last country to roll out any sweeping change. The people enjoying a four-day week are those who work in the US-based companies, limited to a select few.
