Day off
I’ve changed my work schedule so that one Tuesday/month, I have the day off. During those weeks, I’ll work 4 longer days and this is my first week on the new schedule. I LOVE IT!
I got to work about 6:30am yesterday and go so much accomplished before 7:30am, it was awesome. I tend to leave work between 5-5:30pm, but stayed last night until 6:15pm. From 4pm until I left, I was even more focused and got a ton of stuff done.
Due to the nature of my job, I get a lot of visitors throughout the day…staff stop by my office with questions, I get TONS of sales calls (which inevitably go to voicemail), and I’m constantly being sought out by others. But, in those early hours and then again towards the end of the day, it was relatively quiet and I was able to accomplish a good amount of work during that time.
What started off as a schedule change to allow me one weekday off work has so far improved my work itself. I realize I’m saying this after one day, but that one day has made a big difference already.
Today won’t really be a day off– it’ll just be a day away from work. I have a To-Do list that has 14 items on it so I’ll keep myself very busy.
I’ve discovered that teachers get the time off (summer, christmas, spring break, etc) to maintain our sanity… I’m glad you’re fighting for yours too!! MISS YOU!!

I’ve been hinting about it at my place. I understand that some of the folks can’t do it ~ with missions and all ~ but for those of us who aren’t flying, why not?!
I’m envious!

Do you have “hello, this is john from debt solutions” call you? That recording calls at least 4x’s a week.
