another long weekend coming

[fox]

Oh FFS next Monday is a federal holiday, which means yet another long weekend. The last time I worked five days in a row was . . . I have to look at my calendar to see when that was. At least this week that's because this is my short week on my 9/80 schedule, so Friday is my day off but my kid will still be in school. (Not that he won't whine about it, because that's apparently what we're doing now, but never mind.)

I am looking at my calendar now, and indeed:

• Week after next: Day off Friday


• Next week: Holiday Monday


• This week: Day off Friday


• Last week: Snow day Monday, kid home in quarantine Thursday-Friday


• Last week of December: Holiday Friday


• Third week of December: Holidays Thursday-Friday


• Second full week of December: Half day Wednesday to get the kid his second dose of the vaccine


• First full week of December: Day off Friday


• End of November/beginning of December: Yes, that week I worked a full week.

So granted in a normal four-week month I work two five-day weeks and two four-day weeks; this year I will not have a full week in all of December and January.
