The Lazy Weekend

A lot of people balk at the idea of having a split weekend, something akin to the Saturday/Tuesday that I get off every week. Here are some reasons it's a pretty sweet deal:

1) TWO Fridays! (Monday is also Friday)
2) Sunday is slow at work, which makes it a good day to be there.
3) If you're feeling lazy, which I am today, you never have to look back at 2 consecutive wasted days.
4) Trades are possible if I ever need the whole weekend off.
5) Weekdays off are good for personal productivity

How does all this play out for this weekend?

Friday night, I got home and began picking music for my party mix. Then I went out and bought cleaning supplies. Then I came home and porked around some more. I slept 8 hours, got up, read some of my book, ate a little, and then went to the pond and down to Downtown Jamaica Plain, which is not incredibly different from where I am now except instead of old Hispanic guys hanging out on the corner, there are street vendors. I ate a burrito and a smoothie at The Purple Cactus, then caught the bus back here, where I will read, pick music, and possibly nap if all goes well.

Completely wasted from a productivity standpoint, but what does it matter? I get another weekend again in a couple of days!
