Monday mornings

Most people hate Monday mornings, don't they?

I have a tendency to work 7 days a week once in a while. When I've done a 7 day week, Monday feels hard.

But I had yesterday off. I cleaned my car, inside and out (2.5 hours). Shaved and moisturised the baldness. Worked out. Had dinner.

This morning, on my way to work, wearing a fresh suit and tie, I felt like I always do when I've had a Sunday off.

Fresh, optimistic and rested.

One of the biggest health issues facing mankind is working too long of hours and the number of days straight ,and it doesn't mean you lie down for the day off and do nothing there is always restful work to do, and this should be be done to reinvigor your self .

I just heard something about this on the news, too. With all the cut-backs and such, more and more people are doing more and more work. Seven days a week is definitly too much, I would say. Not that I know what you do or are asking to know, but I would have to agree that you need way more of those days to regroup. Wow.

Cut backs? I'm self-employed ish. Actually I don't really know what my employment status is. I guess I own a franchise which is affiliated with a larger parent company which I am a partner in. So when I work hard for my franchise, that benefits the parent company, which benefits me, and vice versa.

Now, I have to build up my franchise so I can half it and lease half my business out to another franchise, which will be owned by the parent company, so I'll manage the franchisee and take a portion of the profit.

So what happens, is I get very, very busy for a few months, then my workload halves and I wind up doing 2 days a week for a while.

I suppose most people would find it really stressful but I love it. My last job, I was doing 40-50 hours a week and a full time college course (I've wound up paying myself through college twice, believe it or not) and that was too much. Then there have been times when I've just had a 100+ hour a week job, and it was terrible.

To really understand why its ok for me to do 7 days a week, you need to really know who I am and what I do for a living. I've had other jobs effect my health but this one doesn't.

It seems you are able to cope with what you are doing.

Well, I don't know who you are or what you do, but it all sounds complicated but exciting. Here's to a break soon for one of those smaller workload periods.
