Welcome to the Working Week

Posted on June 1, 2006 By Tom No Comments on Welcome to the Working Week

It’s Thursday (insert Douglas Adams quote here.)

Even though this is a three-day work week for me, I feel like I’ve been working seven days straight. With the new summer schedule, I leave the house at 6:30 AM, and get back home usually at 6:00 PM.  Having Fridays off is nice, but it sure makes the rest of the days long.

Working until 5:00 isn’t so bad until they make you do it.

Thus was I quoted a couple of years ago when we first started this schedule for summer. That quote gets re-quote each time we start back on this schedule by someone in the office.  I think there might be more truth to it than at first glance.  Mentally, I’m in "going home" mode by about 3:45.  That effectively removes 1.25 hours from peak productivity.  I have no qualms about working long hours if I have something pending, or if I’m really interested in the task at hand.  I do have a problem with filling hours.  Fortunately that doesn’t happen often, and having to find something to do has never been a problem around here.  It comes at you from all angles.
