My Top 10 Reasons Every Weekend Should be a Three Day Weekend

10. 5 days on and 2 days off? Are you crazy? Who decided this? They need to be tarred and feathered.

9. I can’t get everything done that I need to during the 2 day weekend.

8. US citizens will be happier; purchase more products (more time to shop), thus causing the economy to become better. (This is not a stretch)

7. I promise to truly appreciate the whole weekend, never sacrificing the extra day, like I used to do in college. (Scheduling no classes on Friday does not mean you will be extra productive with your studies that day)

6. I never get to watch Oprah anymore.

5. Time with friends and family always goes by too quickly on a weekend

4. Workers will be more productive knowing they only have a 4 day week.

3. The extra day can be a required “Funday” (the day after Sunday) Citizens must go bike riding, to the beach, play frisbee, play endless bocce ball, and only engage in Funday activities.

2. There will be no more Mondays or “Sunday night blues”, just Fundays.

1. Because I want it that way and we need to do as the Europeans--chill out, and enjoy our free time…take 7 week vacations. I think the 3-Day weekend is a good place to start.


Ok, we can start this revolution if we all don’t show on Monday. If we don’t show up to work, others won’t and it will be like in high school when half the class went on the field trip, the other half didn’t do anything because the teachers didn’t want to teach less than half the class. Catch my drift? I think this can work. Start planning the first ever Funday. The weekend starts in 2 days! I think this is a good place to start. From here will fight for a 3 day work week with 4 days of fun.

I'm just trying to get out of the 14 day "work week" (weekend call) and the 24 hr on-call days.
