Do you actually like long weekends? I guess they're nice but I absolutely hate coming back to work for everything to be forced into a four day week instead of a five day week.

Oh, I love a long weekend. My husband works four days a week, and I am endlessly jealous of his incredible schedule. It's so refreshing to go into the week knowing you only have four more days left.

But he at least sticks to that schedule. I hate having a five day week condensed into four.

I'm right there with you. I sort of dread a day off on an otherwise normal week when we're swamped. It definitely gives me a bit of anxiety when I return to an already full plate. But I'll still try to enjoy the day off and relax while I can, I guess.

Maybe it is because this also coincides with the first week of the month it is making it so much more difficult. I have so much reporting to do in so little time.

Monday off > Friday off

Having Monday off, people realize how much of the week has passed when seeing deadlines.

Having Friday off just makes every one shift Friday deadlines to Tuesday.

oh I 100% agree the Monday day off is so much better than the Friday. Feels more like a bonus day and the week following the holiday is so much shorter.

It is just cramming everything in that I struggle with.

I have a love hate relationship with them haha. I am like you and don't want to go back to work on Tuesday. However, I do enjoy a good three day weekend.

Love the long weekend. Hate the consequences of the long weekend.
