Changing weekends

Since I started my new job, I’ve had three changes in my days off. At first, my days were Wednesdays and Thursdays, not much different from the old Thursday and Friday schedule I had at the last place. I had my days planned out: retail shop on Wednesday, grocery shop on Thursday. I might even watch a Netflix pick on Wednesday night after watching Pushing Daisies and Hotel Babylon. Thursdays were for Ugly Betty and The Office. I rather enjoyed having these two days off because it felt exclusive for me.

However, I missed having Fridays off. It would have created a problem for me if I wanted to visit friends or I would have to take vacation days in order to have a Saturday off.

This week, I had Monday and Tuesday off. I was so close to my last days off that it didn’t feel like time off. I just ran a bunch of errands on those days.

Starting November 11, my days off will be Friday and Saturday. I haven’t had a Saturday off in four years. Plus, I finally get to check out the arts community here on Friday nights. And my first Friday off just happens to be my birthday. Talk about lucky.
