Friday before a three-day weekend may be one of the best days of the year. No one's doing anything, and no one even cares if you're doing anything. It's paradise. So take the rest of the day to completely slack off, read up on your celebrity gossip, and then sneak out 20 minutes early. I'll have a mailbag present on Tuesday, I'm still shifting through the hundreds of emails we've received, but it will be a nice welcoming to the office for you on possibly the worst day of the year...the day after Memorial day weekend.
Below is an attachment you may enjoy that I received from Josh in Virginia, a devoted reader. It comes from a 1943 newspaper article back when women first started working full-time while men were away at war. It becomes apparent quickly that upper management had no clue how to deal with the fact that women were somewhere other than the kitchen, and the results are rather amusing. As I've stated many times, I'm all for diversity in the American workplace, and I think our female readers will get the biggest kick of all from this.
My favorite part:
"Give the female employee a definite day-long schedule of duties so they'll keep busy without bothering the management for instructions every few minutes"
Sadly, this blatantly applies to me at work. I love bothering the management. Have a great holiday!
