What makes you happy ?

Pre-nursing I worked mainly in the pub trade. Unsocial hours and day off on Tuesday. When we ran the pub it was 24/7. Going into nursing it was shifts. Hopefully 3 days on, day off. That didn’t always work but every day was essentially the same – another working day. Weekends off were every 3 weeks if I was lucky and they were spent catching up before the next 3 weeks started. So for 19 years I didn’t have weekends off. Doing all the WordPress work – and .org and .com – was also a daily job. After all, someone somewhere is always blogging. But then a little while ago Support at .com closed for the weekend. I had weekends off. I had what could be said to be a normal working pattern (we’ll skip the hours during the week) but I have 2 days off together each week. And I really like it. I never thought I would like it but that was associated with the crowds out shopping, with the commuting that the weekdays would bring, with the regular hours. But I don’t get those last 3 things, I get none of the tedious stuff either side of work – and I still get weekends off. That’s pretty cool :)
