It's Sunday and I've had a working weekend. It seems that the kind of work I do always has 'occasional weekend or evening work required'. I get time in lieu for working on a weekend, but only hour for hour - no extra time for giving up time I could have spent with friends.
I think that's the biggest drag about working weekends - losing socialising time. Sure I get a day off sometime in the week - but no one else has that time off. Too often I end up spending my day at home doing house stuff. I'd rather go exploring but it's not that fun alone.
I wonder if I'll ever have a job where I don't have to work weekends...
If you can have the time in lieu on a Friday or Monday and make a long weekend you can spend with Bruce, that should be some consolation. I guess with shops open such long hours, lots of people work weekends and have random days off.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying sunshine at least. We had a - temp over night so it's a bit chilly here.
True, a long weekend is some consolation.. although we couldn't go away unless he had a day off too, so it's not ideal. I think it's one of those times when you don't know what you've got until it's gone - and it's only a couple of weekends.. :-)
