It's Friday! ...big deal...

It's Friday, and that's pizza night at our house. DJ is planning to go watch his old football team, Hillwood, play tonight at Antioch. Monica said the other day that she's probably going too. I'd like to go, but I just can't see being gone until after 10PM when I have to get up at 4AM tomorrow. Not to mention that it would make for an awful long day today. I always say that I hate getting up at 4 but I like getting off work at 1:30, but it is starting to get to me. I'm getting tired of being tired all the time. With some of the changes that are coming up with my position at work, I may add asking for a new schedule in there. I keep thinking I should take a nap in the afternoon, but I'm not much of a napper. More than 15 minutes or so and I wake up feeling all groggy and such. It takes about an hour to get over that. So no thanks. We'll just have to see what develops.

The title of this post refers to the fact that Friday is just another day to people like me who work weekends. I've done it all my life, beginning with my paper route at 13 years old, but still, sometimes I find myself going " I get so tired of working Saturdays when everyone else is off " I'm fortunate enough now that my current schedule has me off every Sunday, but I've NEVER had Saturdays off on any kind of regular basis. So sometimes when I see people making such a big deal of the weekend, I get, I don't know, depressed, for want of a better word.

And don't EVEN get me started on the holidays and (to people in retail) that miserable song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"...
