Whilst flicking through the radio channels, I often hear comments about how near it is getting to the weekend. This saddens me, that we would be fixated on wishing time away and just "living for the weekend". That we dislike our jobs and colleagues so much that we can't wait to have an escape before then having to come back and do it all again on Monday. I realise that I'm lucky to love my job, but I do wonder, if people really don't like what they do Monday to Friday, if there's not other passions to be explored, or other ways of viewing all that they do Monday to Friday. Of course it's fab that we look forward to special time with our loved ones, and time away from work means we can do fun stuff that we can't do in work. But life is too short to discount 5/7ths of it.
My jobs are such that I often work for bits of the weekend anyway, though I'm determined to try and take a few days off and have a proper break with the kids. And despite all I've said above, I love Fridays so get excited about them coming. I'm not so keen on saturdays, so it's not a weekend countdown, it's just that Fridays often have lots of cake, singing and community. This morning's meeting with my colleagues includes extra guests so hopefully extra cake, and I love getting together with them as otherwise that particular job could be quite isolating.
Whatever your Friday holds I hope you can feel some excitement - and if that's mainly about your working day coming to an end, I encourage you to think about what else in work/other work might make your days more exciting in and of themselves...
Big Friday love :D
