These days of freedom…

So here I am on a sunny Friday afternoon, drinking absurd amounts of coffee from the home espresso machine, and lounging outside next to the pool.  Waking up this morning (sometime after 1 p.m.), I was struck with the realization that the days of sleeping in past noon seven days a week are drawing to a close. And the dim light at the end of the working until 4 a.m. tunnel is growing brighter (Or is that just the sunrise before I get home for bed?)

Either way, while it’s been a nice run of 3.5 day weekends, all good things must come to their (well deserved) end. In a few weeks, I’ll be sitting in my cube on a Friday afternoon, suffering through another customer call to India (oh the irony).  As a personal bailout/stimulus package for those long afternoons, I’ve decided to post a few highlights below.  I’m counting on these stories to provide a rescue in the middle of a long customer call.  And since most of my six blog readers all work on Fridays, I’ve included a comparison with what they’re likely doing at work, while I’m out adventuring.

While you were sharpening your pencils and throwing them at the ceiling on Thursday, I was out doing this:

Then on Friday*, while you were dealing with a “my-universe-is-crashing-down-and-I’m-at-the-center-of-my-own-little-world” crisis client on the phone, deciphering the latest office memo, and watching your day tick away, I was here:

*Also Friday night, at 11 pm for a nightcap ride.

Ahh, three day weekends how I’m almost missing you already… mostly just the sleeping in part though.
