Week-End; Who Thought of It???

Now I am one for enjoying my week-ends. I love just being able to laze in bed, read, do as I please, and be my own boss. (And my favorite -- napping) But come Sunday night, all that goes away and we have to once again think about the start of a new work week.

I am wondering who thought up the work calendar. Why do we work five days and have off two.? Why not split it in half; I'd even take work four and have off three. It just doesn't seem fair. Of course folks would then say "how could we get our required 40 hours of work in"? Well, who says we need to work 40 hours. Who made that rule? I'll bet if we were only working a 24 or 30 hours a week, we would have learned to survive on that. Of course there is always the folks who have to work two jobs or work excessive overtime just to get by. I feel sorry for those people. Been there--done that and what does it get you? Bad health, more stress, etc. etc.

Time off is for spending with families, relaxation, and doing things in your own home that get behind when you are "at work". People are always complaining they don't have enough of that time to themselves. If they would try more to live within their means, they would at least have that tiny two-day weekend. But if we ALL rallied, maybe we could change the calendar.

I seriously doubt it, but it is a good thought, right?
