The sun is in the Southern sky and Jupiter is aligned with Mars. And the result is an event so glorious and rare that it only happens once - maybe five times - a year. I speak, of course, of the Three Day Work Week.Yes, the ever-elusive Three Day Work Week has arrived as a combination of national holiday and 9/80 off Friday, and I'm taking full advantage. The parents were in town for the past week, so I spent spent Monday biking aroudn the South Bay with them. And this Friday I'm planning to go sailing to either Catalina or the Channel Islands with Gilbert. Whah-thah!
The only thing about the Three Day work Week is that you spend the whole week wondering what day it is. Tuesday feels like Monday when you first start, but by the end you're thinking about how there are only two days left in the week. Thursday becomes the new Friday even though you swear it's only half-way over. And you spend all day Wednesday thinking it's three different days. It's a tough burden to suffer through, but I think I can manage.
Top it all off by rubbing it in the faces of your friends and you have a successful Three Day Work Week.
