I took this afternoon off. Over the nice lunch I treated myself to, I thought about how normal it seems to work six days a week and then get bored on the one day off I do have.
Does anyone else feel like being in the Empire with the added "jobs" of field service, meetings, and study condition you to fill every moment possible?
Especially when you leave, you suddenly have what seems like so much time on your hands. For me, work was the choice to fill it. At my job, we are open from 7:30 to 6 m-f and 7:30-4 on sat and it is perfectly acceptable for a technician to work all six days. But the manager and the owners will many times come tell me that I shouldn't work six days EVERY week, "why don't you take a day off to rest?"
Well, that's why we are closed on Sundays. I'm used to it, been doing it so long.
I guess if you can come away with one good bit of training from The Empire, it is that you can handle putting in long hours.
But I am enjoying a quiet afternoon off with a few cold brews and air conditioning. (been really hot this week)
