life in splitsville

i never thought i’d miss having a “real weekend”…

…but now i have a “split”, and i’m not sure if i like it.

when i was in my 20’s and working in retail, my “ideal schedule” was being off sunday and wednesday. i liked it because i had sunday off, and i tended to date “normals” (i.e. people who have the conventional saturday-sunday weekend) so we could do something but then i had a week day off to do stuff like go to the grocery store and the bank and shit and it wasn’t too slammed.

that was nice.

so when i found out that would be my schedule now that i’m bi-working (i.e. two jobs) i was pretty stoked with it, but now find the lack of two days off in a row makes it feel like things never really “reset”. like no week has a clear beginning and end to it.

prior to this i had tuesday-wednesday off, which sucked because i didn’t have a mutual day off with my wife, but rocked because i had two days off in a row. eventually i will work for one company, and my weekend will probably end up being sunday-monday. but for now we have this, the in between time, where i have the split. who knows – maybe i get used to the split again and keep it?
