Hail The Weekend!

Now imagine you were doing what you love doing ALL week. So much so, that the definitive line between workweek and weekend become blurred, and becomes simply a “week”...

Thanks for the comment folks, it's always an interesting debate, especially one socially with a mixed group of friends who some work for others, some are self employed, and some unemployed.

I highly recommend reading Humphrey's book, Work & Worth

Great post Elaine,

Very good points... But I think sometimes dreading the work week goes beyond conditioning and trying to acquire a positive attitude. Here are three other options a person should explore:

1. Perhaps the reason you feel so bored, uninterested, and unenthusiastic is due to the fact that the job situation itself is not right for you. Either you don't feel valued, appreciated, or that you make a difference because of the way the company is set up and/or the way co-workers or customers treat you.

2. You never really have enjoyed what you do. In this case, where possible, make an effort to get involved in another line of work.

3. You're not happy in general and this attitude shows up not just in work, but in other areas of your life as well. In this case, you need to sit down and examine your life; not just your job.

Do what you do well and enjoy doing it, Great post Elaine! I also think that education should shoulder a lot of the blame when it comes to people disliking Mondays, the truth is that most kids really dislike Mondays and lots of Adults too, see the connection?

Wonderful, Elaine.

We're conditioned that way from childhood - year after year of school in our formative years. It'd be great, but we don't get summer off unless we're teachers (I feel gypped!).
