day off day on

Yesterday's dentist appt. went well (no cavities!) and today I am back at work, and I feel great. I think all businesses should switch to a new overall schedule. Two days off, one day on, one day off, one day on, two days off, one day on, and so forth. It really is quite amazing. The day off provides rest and relaxation, energizing us to come in to work the next day, and the imminent two days off is like a weekend, so everyday you work feels like a friday, and let's be honest, that's why we all love fridays. It'll be great, hordes of non-disgruntled workers everywhere. If we can make this proposal a world-wide reality we may actually have people spontaneously joining hands in open meadows and forming giant peace symbols on their days off. And it works for management too! Happier workers won't sue you. Because they're working fewer hours you won't have to cover as much insurance. The best part is, you won't ever have to worry about long holiday weekends or closing on national holidays. Since there'll be so much off time we'll just arrange it so all the holidays fall on the days off. It'll be like a journey into the past, the only people working all the time will be the essentials: doctors, emts, police, fire. Special dispensations can be arranged for those in the tourist businesses, to work on the worldwide days off. Dare we call it a worker's Utopia? Yes. So, take it to your manager, Tom's Utopia Plan, and if he's worth his salary he'll recognize the benefits and kick it on up the line, and when it reaches the top bam. worldwide two days on, one day off, one day on, one day off. man, it'll be sweet.
