View Full Version : What does having a day off mean to you?
TVFactFan 02-25-2007, 05:45 PM A) More Sleep
B) a Day to do the things you enjoy doing
C) Both
As i became older its a day for me to do the things I enjoy doing like listening to Sports radio and being on the Internet. I wake up early on my days off and can't MOVE on the days I go to work
Brian Damage 02-25-2007, 05:48 PM I do both, unless my wife has a day of chores or activities to do.
Number 9 Dream 02-25-2007, 05:52 PM Both....I like to sleep in, as well as do various things I've been meaning to do but can't (go shopping, write, laundry, hang with friends for as long as I want, etc).
Ireneparalegal 02-25-2007, 06:02 PM Means not having to do squat. I mean, take a shower and not put on make-up, wear sweats and an old t-shirt, not make dinner and either read, watch television or be on the computer.
GoldenGirlsFan92 02-25-2007, 06:23 PM I do both. I like to sleep in(not to late), and durning the day I like to watch all my talkshows that I miss when I normaly have school.
EmoJoe 02-25-2007, 06:27 PM ALL OF THE ABOVE :woohoo:
dawsongirl 02-25-2007, 07:11 PM Just not having to be there. It's a mental health day for me. Any day away from work is awesome.
TheHappyBurgerMeister 02-25-2007, 07:40 PM mostly for me it's more sleeping (sometimes too much!) but basically just any day I'm off work and for me with several jobs, that's rare!
Mr. Cranky 02-25-2007, 07:40 PM I do both, unless my wife has a day of chores or activities to do.
LOL. Wives, can't live with 'em, can't live wit...never mind.
Brian Damage 02-25-2007, 07:56 PM LOL. Wives, can't live with 'em, can't live wit...never mind.
:lol: So true sometimes!
Already Gone 02-25-2007, 08:06 PM Both for me.
dlemond 02-25-2007, 08:13 PM I do both, unless my wife has a day of chores or activities to do.
If you have a wife and kids and a house, a day off means you pretty much don't have a day off.
Unless of course you have specific plans for the day.

So true. Work is actually easier sometimes than a day off. lol.
Jo_Luvs_Ketchup 02-25-2007, 09:31 PM SLEEPING!!!!!! When I have a day off to do completely nothing, I sleep alll day! :D
freshprinceofLA 02-25-2007, 10:47 PM Pretty much both. sleep in, hang out with friends, watch some dvd's.
catlover79 02-25-2007, 11:32 PM I'm single with no kids, so I get to dictate what I do on a day off from work!! :woohoo: I have one weekday and one weekend day off. So on a weekday off I will usually use it to make a appt. with doctor, dentist, hairdresser, etc. when necessary. If I don't have to schedule an appt. maybe I will shop or go to the library, but I usually just stay home and do my laundry. :D On a weekend day off I just SLEEP!!! YAY!! :party:
Brieannas21 02-25-2007, 11:53 PM I never have a day off.

Little advice for you, NEVER EVER use one of your days off to go to the doctor or dentist. You take a HALF of day and leave early from work
KissMyGrits 02-26-2007, 09:41 AM Lately? My life has consisted of getting ready to move. I have been packing, painting, deciding which stuff I want to keep and throwing stuff away, going to Home Depot, getting carpet installed, tile installed. Runnig boxes over to our storage unit. So I have no chance to sleep except late at night. I have no chance to watch tv, unless i take a short break.
I actually look forward to going back to work on Monday....
Oh, I am taking off work this Thursday, but I am a chaperone for my son's field trip. So no relaxing there.....
TVFactFan 02-26-2007, 10:48 AM well i won;t get that oppurtunity since the news lied about a snowstorm
Brian Damage 02-26-2007, 10:49 AM well i won;t get that oppurtunity since the news lied about a snowstorm
I got about an inch of snow...if that.
Ireneparalegal 02-26-2007, 11:11 AM I never have a day off.
Ain't that the damn truth!!!!! With a five year old, I can never "just relax". I get lucky and he and his dad go off somewhere together and I can "chill" but that is a rarity since even if I am alone, I find there are things that still need to be done.

LOL Well my 3 year old thinks that she goes to school LOL, But she's really going to day care. My 1 yr old stays home with a nanny. So even if I don't go to work on some days I still can't just chill out, I always have a kid in toe who's either whinny, hungry, wants to play. Although one weekend last summer I had all to myself when my husband took my kids out to his parents for the weekend. LOL

You are to set aside an hour for yourself everyday-lol

HA! That's a laugh, even when I'm home and on the computer, I have someone in the room with me or on my lap sleeping or just sitting.
Holly 02-26-2007, 02:24 PM Both:D Because I like to sleep in the morning when I have it off from work:p and i usually just do whatever eles in the house
ponytail 02-27-2007, 06:56 AM Doing what I want to do, going where I want to go. No boss around. Relaxing.
TVFactFan 02-27-2007, 10:51 AM I think it's normal not to sleep LONGER when you are off during the week vs o the Weekend
LuLu Rogers 02-27-2007, 05:43 PM Both. Days off are awesome! In fact, I'm off this Friday and Saturday and I'm very excited.
