  • I don’t know, I think I’d get bored with only work 2 days, 3 would be perfect.

  • Lots of companies now let employees work flex time ... that might include 4 - 10 hour days.  Tell your boss to get with the program!!!   This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 20, 2020 6:23 PM MST

    I honestly do not know Jaimie's schedule, but I do read her a lot and I know she works a LOT of hours from what she says.   And she doesn't have to work weekends.  

    I work every day.  I cannot stand the stress of days off and worrying that the time goes too fast.  So I just don't deal with it at all.  I'm nuts.

  • No, I am in office Mon-Friday but not ten hours a day :) I do  have to take calls and emails regarding work into the evenings at home and Sundays are the worst. I mostly deal with people In other time zones, so my Sunday is their Monday, which is annoying as’ Cos it’s still SUPPOSED to be my weekend.

    Sometime in the next 3 years, I will probably retire. I will lay out in my garden and eat really tasty tomatoes. I will write short stories. If the damn wind isn't blowing, I might even ride my bicycle for 10-20 miles per day.

    One day you'll be taking all your weekends at once, just like the rest of retirees. Hang in there.
