It’s finally Friday, and I’m glad to see the week winding down. My schedule has been a little unusual these past few days. Normally, I work from home on Fridays, but this week’s oddities had me doing that yesterday instead. I only put in a half day yesterday, and today will be another half day for me since I have an appointment this afternoon up near Burlington. While I’m in the area, I may take the opportunity to do a little shopping—something I don’t often get the chance to do outside of errands.
Of course, the other reason for my adjusted schedule is that I’ll be working tomorrow. The museum is rarely open on Saturdays except for special occasions, but this weekend happens to be one of those times. That means I’ll be in today and tomorrow, but I’ll be the only staff member on duty. I’ll still have visitors coming through, which keeps things lively, but otherwise, the museum will be quiet and mine to manage alone. Honestly, that’s how I prefer it these days—peaceful, focused, and with time to make sure everything runs smoothly without distractions.
So while others may be easing into their weekend, I’ll still be in work mode a little longer. But I’ll also find small ways to enjoy it—a bit of shopping in Burlington, a quiet afternoon to myself, and the satisfaction of guiding the museum solo for a couple of days.
Wherever your weekend takes you—whether it’s filled with plans, completely restful, or somewhere in between—I hope it brings you a little peace and a lot of joy. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
My weekends are always free. In fact, so are my weekdays. I’m metarded.

Is this fair that you have to work the weekend while your boss and the others have the day off?
ReplyDeleteMy boss worked the previous weekend, and we all worked the weekend before that. The museum used to always be open on Saturdays, and we would rotate which one of us worked. So few people came in on the weekend that it wasn’t worth it, so now we only open on Saturdays for special events. The next time a Saturday comes up that we have to be open, my other coworker will have to work it. Also, we get a comp day during the week to make up for it.
