I am off to office, SKA requires my attention.

WHS. Sometimes I go to Tescos and discover it's closed. That's the only way I know it's the weekend.

Aye. I fraking hate working from home.

I disagree, whilst benched the weekend is a welcome relief as it means I can enjoy some down time with everyone else safe in the knowledge that hitting refresh on Jobserve will make little to no difference until Monday... Not that Jobserve changes much during the week in this climate but you know what I mean.

I see what you mean.

With both of us at Norrtowers on the bench it is quite odd.

Though given my last gig was pretty stressful and stupid hours, it is nice to spend quality time with Mr Norr.

WHS - I even applied for a couple of weekend working contracts last year with the idea of 2 days on, 5 off!

Weekdays are better than weekends!

When you're on the bench, strange things happen, and I now prefer weekdays to weekends. Shops are quieter (if you have the dosh to buy something), you can rely on regular programmes to watch on the box ie Newsnight, and you don't have to worry about whether there's enough milk or bread to last. The only downside is you only have fishing phone-calls or outright lies during the week.
