Is it Monday already? Yes, it is another work week full of the same fun and surprises as the last week! Sometimes, no matter how much you like your job it still feels like a grind. That week you decided to stop drinking coffee, grind! That week between Christmas and New Years you worked because you had used up all your vacation, also a grind. The week before your two-week summer vacation, let’s face it you are just checked out so you make it a grind for everyone else around you. The best weeks, the ones where Friday or Monday are a holiday! These are the bonus times when even the first day of the week is good because you know it is going to be shorter than all the others. Golden are the short weeks especially during summer, the weather is good, the sun stays out late, and you know the barbeque is going to be involved somehow. The only way to ruin a short week is if you plan something like painting your own house over the three day weekend. or cleaning out the garage. You might as well stay at work if you’re going to do that! You will get back to work the next week and all your coworkers will tell you about grilling and fun in the sun while you tell them of the new color of your house. That just made your time off, the grind!
