| It really is Friday! The possibility of a good night's sleep and recharging awaits me. But hang on - it can't really be Friday yet. Can it? It was Monday just now, and I fleetingly recall something that was like Tuesday. But Friday? No, really? :: Much as I love my work there are times that I live for the weekend, and this worries me. Especially now that I am getting older. In effect I am wishing my life away, with only brief surfacings for two days of the week. Living for less than 30% of my life. Of my waking life, that is. Take into consideration the fact that we sleep (or are in a similarly vegetative state) for 33% of the day, we get to less than 18% of life in total. That seems to say a lot for maintaining a proper work/life balance. For maintaining a proper health balance so that one does not get so run down and exhausted. For maintaining a proper balance of tasks at work so that one's interest remains engaged for a greater percentage of the time. For adjusting work schedules to maximize opportunities to enjoy life more every day. |  |

In the mean time, until my fairy godmother comes to wave her wand, I just want to say:
"Woohoo!!! It's Friday!" | |

Thanks for explaining the sobering reality of the work/life balance, Sivani. I hadn't really thought of it that way. I too live for the weekend, and become quite annoyed when anything stands in the way of my weekend relaxation, the time I can truly call my own!
