I started working weekends today. I do this every summer, and I end up with Wednesday and Thursday off. You might think that was an awful schedule, but it really isn't. I live in a very tourist-oriented town and it's very busy here in the summer. By working weekends, I get paid to deal with the touristy types, and then I don't have to share my days off with five thousand other people trying to hang out at the lake, hike on the trails or even getting a tank of gas. It's a good thing.
