I Miss You Weekend

Category:


What’s up with weekends lately? They seem to just fly right by without me being able to enjoy them. It’s like work is over on Friday, I go to sleep Friday night and wake up and it’s Monday morning?!?!? Am I the only one who feels like this besides Emily?!?!?

Has the government been fucking with not only daylight savings but also weekends?!?!? My biological clock is getting more fucked up than an Orson Welles movie with all these discrepancies in time! Weekends I need you to last a little longer. Give me the feeling that you’re really 3 days and not that feeling of 3 hours!?!?!

What happened to the days when you were in grade school and weekends seemed so long and special. Saturday morning cartoons, afternoon bouts with GI Joe and Chef Boyardee and evenings of Coke and microwave popcorn. Sometimes the weekends were so long I’d actually get kind’ve bored and want to go back to school to learn more…NOT!

I don’t know if you housewives know what I’m talking about by the weekends going by faster than a line of coke at a rich kids party, but they have been! Does life at home include weekends or is it always a 7 day work week? I feel for you…

I’m wondering if there is anyway to prolong the weekends? Yes, I could call in on Monday or Friday, but that kills a PTO day. If I could work four 10 hour days a week and have Monday or Friday off I totally would. Or if I could work from home that’d be doper than winning $5,000 in the state lottery!

I miss you weekends! Please come back!

Love,
Gregg

    punky: WTF?!?! did you take a pill or something to slow it down or what!?!?

    5 more days and she’ll be back like a hooker on El Cajon Blvd!!! I would totally go for 10 hour days, 4 days a week. Let the interns and temps work on Fridays….

    captain: should we pitch this idea of a 10 hour, 4 day work week to Corporate? Temps and interns love doing the dirty work! it makes them into an exceptional employee!

    in italian there’s a funny proverb tells: Mi manca un Venerdì! litterally “I lost a Friday”!…so how many fridays we’ve lost?….:-(

    Lime: I wish we had some cool phrase for the weekend going by fast in English :(

  8. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 7:54 am

    Erica: ha ha no shit i dont read but i know ive heard it somewhere! done 1984!!!!

  9. Paul Hughson March 19th, 2007 8:11 am

    Orson Welles novels? You mean “H.G. Wells?”

  10. Dave March 19th, 2007 8:12 am

    i think you mean George Orwell, but the book 1984 didn’t have anything to do with time.

    Orson Welles was a filmmaker.

  11. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 8:24 am

    Paul: yup :)

    Dave: yeaaahhh i love Orson Welles!
    I’ll just keep what i wrote so i look even mroe stupid! haha

    technically speaking, the weekend is only about 55 hours long, friday night only counts for about 7 hours so yes… weekends are shorter than three days.

    but who’s counting?

  13. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 8:26 am

    Kyle: you always were good with time…you definitely havent lost your keen sense thats for sure!

  14. kyle March 19th, 2007 8:34 am

    I also have a keen knack for the obvious.

    Obviously.

  15. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 8:35 am

    kyle: are excited to meet me in April? i’ll give you signed photo and have dinner with you for no charge!

  16. Erica March 19th, 2007 9:03 am

    Yeah - Maybe you should read that book - it’s good - and then you can write a blog about it!!! You love ideas for blog entries!!!

  17. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 9:16 am

    erica: the last book i fully read was an WWE wrestlers biography haha

  18. kyle March 19th, 2007 9:59 am

    Punky wants her signed photo in the mail because she hasn’t received it. I on the other hand will wait until april for said photo.

  19. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 10:03 am

    kyle: tell punky i would send her the photo but it costs so much to drive these days that ill just til she gets here to give it to her

    The weekends do go by too quick…my husband thinks so too.

    But he also says that every day is a Friday for me…because I don’t work.

  21. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 10:17 am

    dirty: first of all WTF have you been all day?! You better have a written excuse or a job interview for missing my morning comment rush!!!

    Tell your husband being a mother is a full time job that doesnt pay except for the gift of love from your child.

  22. dirty March 19th, 2007 10:57 am

    Dear Gregg…

    I am so sorry to have missed your morning comment rush. I only wish I could’ve been here to fill it with more comments. I feel terrible. I was on the phone and busy online shopping and tracking the packages that are in transit to my home due to my “asshole with a credit card” syndrome which makes me buy pretty much anything that looks cool. Please help me.

    xoxo
    dirty

    dirty: blood is thicker than water especially cyber blood. i forgive you just like jesus would like

  24. dirty March 19th, 2007 11:07 am

    I knew you were my favorite blogger!

  25. Xtina March 19th, 2007 11:10 am

    Do you get the Blahs on Sunday nights when you realize your weekend is over and tomorrow morning you have to start all over again!? I hate that!

  26. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 11:14 am

    dirty: you love me?

    Xtina: yes Sunday is the most depressing day of the week b/c monday is the next day and thats a work day :(

  27. Erica March 19th, 2007 12:11 pm

    Everyone should just go on a working strike and we can all go to the play ground and swing on swings.

  28. cc1904 March 19th, 2007 12:40 pm

    Read? Book? Gregg doesn’t understand those four letter words people. If the words are not on a menu, computer monitor screen, tv, or movie screen… he would not want to read them.

    That’s a fact!

    if anybody gives a hoot… i’m back form holidays and I just took a 5 day week end.. they are really over rated… so right now. I’m not missin the week end so much

  30. gregg o'connell March 20th, 2007 5:10 am

    erica: you’d be way too scared to go on a swing get serious….

    captain: you know me way too well!

    julianne: i’m happy to hear of your 5 day holiday and im glad you’re back on the only site that really matters

  31. cc1904 March 20th, 2007 8:42 am

    Gregg, just think of the millions who actually work regularly on weekends:

    Hey, not everyone can be successful. We need failures in America. We need some people to be strippers and fast food workers. You know lap dances and chicken wings, I luv them both!!

  32. gregg o'connell March 20th, 2007 8:48 am

    captain: you need to bring back the captains corner!
    you’re a fucking visionary

  33. cc1904 March 20th, 2007 9:06 am

    Captain’s Corner will make a comeback soon… I am what I am. What can I say?

    BTW, I think the time on people’s comments did not spring forward with the rest of us…
