The tradition of taking Monday off has been common among craft workers since at least the seventeenth century.
Don't we want to practice that tradition in our office parks sometime? Well, I'm not really a craft worker. Unless I manipulate my output to qualify for the same. Let's see. Craft. Hmmm..
We have the following meanings --
1. The skilled practice of a practical occupation
2. A vehicle designed for navigation in or on water or air or through outer space
3. People who perform a particular kind of skilled work
4. Skill in an occupation or trade
5. Shrewdness as demonstrated by being skilled in deception
Alright. Look at #1, #3 and #4 and you fit right in. Use #5 to find your way around the workplace. Be nifty and three times smarter than the guy next to you. #2 is off our discussion agenda.
25min to Monday. Awwww. But the week does go by quite fast. Only the beginning sucks. Very difficult to shake off the lethargy that you feel when your eyes open to a frustrated yet consistent alarm clock.
And then you think about the week ahead.
