4-Day Weekend?

Is that a common thing?  I've never had one for a holiday weekend like this.  I just get the 3 days, pretty much.

Saturday morning I've got a mammogram appointment (finally rescheduled).  Then in the afternoon, Eric and I are going to the Meadowlands Fair with my sis & BIL & nephew.  He'll love the tigers & the pig races!  Oh, and Cake Boss will be there Saturday at 7, unveiling a cake for TLC!

Sunday I'm doing glitter tattoos in the afternoon at a country club party.

Monday I'm doing face painting in the afternoon/evening at a different country club party.

So really, I'm working most of the weekend too.

Re: 4-Day Weekend?

  • I think it's more popular in the academic world, but I know a lot of people that will take a vacation day so they can have a longer weekend for summer holidays.

    Sounds like you're going to have a fun weekend!

    Some of my coworkers are doing this. I just have Monday off. Rodgers has no day off.

  • We just have Monday off, too.
  • I have a quasi- 4 day weekend, in that I'm off tomorrow, saturday and monday.  I have to work Sunday.  We have the boat weekend, and a stupid wedding to go to on Saturday.

    DH sometimes gets 4 day weekends around holidays, as does my dad.  They both work for companies that do 9-80: they work longer days, but they get every other Friday off.  It's nice, and I'm jealous.

  • DH is playing a gig this weekend on Fri, Sat and Sun nights, so no plans here. We may be going out on BIL's boat for the 4th, if the weather hold up. No one has mentioned any BBQ plans or anything. So if not then DH and I will just grill here.
  • It's a four-day weekend for some military...but since H is security, he won't get all the days off. Most of them have to work the 4th, I think...but he does get Fri-Sun off. I only get Monday.

    Besides a concert in Dallas on Saturday, we've got no major plans. Which is fine with me...I'm just ready for some time off.

  • We have a 4 day weekend Mon/Tue off, so that's a good thing.
  • Ha...I have a long long weekend of about 8-9 more weeks.

    H goes back on Tuesday.

    We will be *hopefully* ordering or picking up crib (I hope I hope)- my parents are paying so I need to see if they will pick it w/ me or at least order it this w/e. H will likely go to home depot to get a border or paint to paint the nursery...and IF we get the crib, I'd like to get it assembled- since I got all the nursery bedding today. Hooray!! And assemble our glider if it comes tomorrow.

    We have a BBQ at one of my college buddies house- not sure if we're going. MH's brother is having a bbq on Monday, so we may stop by.

    Other than that, not a whole lot.

  • I do, but only because I'm still 32 hr/wk. I wish I worked tomorrow. Sure could use the moolah!

    We have nothing fun planned this weekend...next week will be more eventful. C goes to NC for a wedding so I'm taking the cats and the munchkin to my hometown Thurs night-Sunday.

    Is it me, or is it kind of ironic for military to have to work Independence Day?

    Yes!

    But I guess we wouldn't want a bunch of a$$clown fill-ins for the day!

  • I am taking a vacation to have today off for my four day weekend.  It's just me and Will today, so I want to do something fun. I am thinking the zoo or driving to the aquarium in Chattanooga.  Tomorrow W and I are going to visit my dad and grandmother.  The rest of the weekend will be relaxing, hopefully spending some time by the pool.
