The ‘weekend’ as we once knew it is on the verge of becoming extinct.
You would work hard to get to Friday, which was quite the welcome site. At quitting time on Friday, a big sigh of relief for two days of reckless abandon and much needed sleep.
Those days are gone. In the TV business, there is no such thing as a ‘regular shift.’ So for many people, ‘Friday’ is not really ‘Friday.’
Whenever your ‘weekend’ may fall, there are chores, responsibilities, required engagements, and the list of mounting duties (which never gets smaller, only multiplies)!
Now, even though you may be able to complete some of the tasks at hand during the ‘work week’ there are so many lingering jobs left, the days termed ‘weekend’ are just two more consecutive days to arise at the break of dawn, continue where you left off on a task the previous day or night and trudge forward.
The novelty of visiting family members, taking a weekend trip, girls night out, or sleeping until you wake up are only memories we glance at in our rear view mirror.
The next time you come across what looks like a ‘weekend,’ tread lightly!
