I just got back from an extended Labor Day weekend, in which I unplugged and checked no email or voicemail, turned off my cellphone, and didn't watch a lick of TV. It was unbelievably relaxing, and it was just what I needed. I actually heard someone lament today at they were annoyed that our IT department shut down the servers over the three-day weekend so they could do some upgrades. My colleague had wanted to work on a deadline over the weekend, and he was rather piqued that he hadn't been able to use a three-day weekend productively. I thought to myself, what could be more productive that staying the hell home and getting a little extra sleep and having brunch with a mimosa or twothreeseven?
I've emphasized before on this blog that there are times when you're just going to have to pull long days/nights and weekends, but as the book of Ecclesiastes said, to everything there is a season. There's a time to work a lot, and there's a time to go home and actually enjoy your three-day weekend. Here's hoping you all did just that.
I've been emailed some great questions and comments as well as post ideas, and I plan to get to them in the next few weeks here. I welcome more comments and questions, as always. In the meantime, please be patient as I get through the pileup in my email inbox from a five-day weekend!
