weekender no more?

It's just now that i realized the need for us to have Sat-Sun off....not merely to have gimmick on a Saturday night but rather the togetherness of the family, being able to attend to Sunday mass, being able to rest along with other employees who work on regular office hours during weekdays and always find time to be with their family even if it takes hours to get to their destination just to be home....(those who work in manila but lives in nearby province). shopping malls jam packed yet you still enjoy rubbing elbows with them, national parks (luneta park, manila zoo, et.al) you planned of visiting to reminisce your childhood but you can't, not because you work at night but you find it awkward to have it done on weekdays, who would have thought of visiting those historical places on weekdays while the rest of the Filipinos are working? neighbors grilling barbecue for their lunch (like our neighbors do on weekends) while there you are having a hard time sleeping, not because of a warm weather but because of the idea of not being able to do it with your own family....others may find it strange that I'm writing this just now, I was never a front runner when it comes to demanding a sat-sun off as i fully understand the industry we are working with, this idea just crossed my mind because I missed being a normal person. I now want a Sat-Sun off then. :)
