One Is Just A Number

Today is actually the start of my weekend. I work a 9/80 schedule, which means I get every other Friday off. It is the favorite part of my job. Having every other week as a three-day weekend is magical. I can get so much done on that Friday off or I can get absolutely nothing done and recharge on my couch. I don't even notice the extra hour I work every day to get this awesome benefit. Sometimes though, I'm in a panic on how to get everything done in a four-day work week. I want to start working smarter to alleviate that panic. The best way to do that would be to avoid the click holes I fall into while scanning my Facebook feed. The internet is a dangerous thing, you turn to your computer screen and before you know it, you look up and it's almost lunch time. I could also gain hours in my day by getting to work on time. My day is supposed to start at 7:30am but it has been drifting closer to 8:00am lately. That is two hours of work time I am losing in a four-day week....

This is my cell phone. It doesn't take pictures. It doesn't surf the web. It does save me money. I pay as I go and $50 lasts me months. I have taken a lot of grief over this phone but I'd rather spend the cost of a monthly cell phone plan on music or my cable bill than a something that I rarely use. That is until I start trading texts with a friend and go past the letter I want 3 times before I get it right then I curse this simple archaic device and my penny-pinching ways!
