Wow, I made it. I just finished my first 5 day week of actual teaching since December 9th. Now my reward is a 3 day weekend. As I think about 3 day weekends I began to wonder which is better to have off, a Friday or a Monday? I personally like Mondays. Seems like all National holidays revolve around a Monday: Memorial, President, Labor, MLK. On the other hand if I were taking a sick/personal day I like having Fridays off. To me it is easier to put in 4 straight days and get off on a Friday than be sick on a Monday and then still have to complete the 4 day week.
Do you ever notice that shortened weeks sometimes are harder to complete than full weeks. I think it messes up the routine.
That said, are you a Friday or Monday off type of person?
Church staff wise, Friday (except it was already my day off).
ReplyDeleteI would much rather have a Monday off than a Friday. But on our school schedule it never works that way. We actually always end up at work on holidays.
ReplyDeleteI like a Monday off. Then all week you feel like it's a day earlier than it really is and it's a nice surprise when it's Friday again already. Happy MLK Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Friday off kinds airl. i like working and then its like a bonus that you dont have to go on Friday. Having a Monday off throws the whole week out of kilter. I also FIRMLY agree that short weeks are harder than long ones. there's something soothing about routine...
ReplyDeleteOK, that was Friday off kind of girl...
ReplyDeletewatching alias and typing is difficult.
Reply to BillyV: But you had to work Sundays, I mean worship. You already had off Friday and Saturday so I guess your day off would be Thursday??? Or your normal day off like Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteReply to wiccachicky: Do you instruct all 5 days?
ReplyDeleteRepy to PIGS: With Monday off I won't be as stressed having to be at church from 8:30-noon and then back at 5:30 for a 2 hour training. Gives me one more day to do my lesson plans.
ReplyDeleteReply to txgrl: I think either day off is a good day. OR even a staff development day without kids is kind of okay.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Friday. If you have Monday off, it throws off the week as you feel like you are playing catch-up the rest of the time. Moot point for me - Offspring, Spouse and I all have work/school today.
