I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aw, meara, you're the wee sprog whose growing up is unpossible!

Yeah, that's way too much, Jesse. All morning (I'm barely out of bed, but still) I have been thinking "5 days is to many days to work" and I just remembered that I took Monday off so I haven't even worked 5 days! It's still too much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of hate a short week, because it's jammed full of the same amount of stuff as a regular week! I'm actually thinking that next year I should take this whole week off -- mostly I want Tuesday off, but a three-day week somehow seems even worse!

That is true

I don't know why this is amusing me so much, but I'll share in case it amuses y'all: I have a customer who begins every email request with "Good news! We are featuring your product in an event [blah blah blah, here's a short deadline that may or may not result in actual orders]" so I see that and kind of cringe because it usually just means more work with little pay off, but the email they just sent me was requesting availability of items that we have a lot of and are looking to unload AND that are still getting a good price, so I read her email and said out loud "that IS good news" and felt like laughing at myself

Sincerely,
-t

5 days is way too many to work. I think maybe a 2.5 day week would be good?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aren't there studies that show working more than 6 hours a day is a waste of time?

I definitely rarely work 6 hours a day! (How long I'm in the office is a different story...)

That sounds like something I've read somewhere.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I read an article that said people over 40 shouldn't work more than 6 hours a day. I showed it to my boss. She was not convinced, but I was.

Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

Our IT dept asked us to "stress test" one of the company wifi networks by streaming video on it, so I have YouTube running on my laptop and Hulu on my phone. This is so weird. It feels like a trap.

ETA Have opened Netflix.
