    Tried to plan my PTO days to where I had 4 day weekends and 3 days weeks for a few weeks during the holidays.

    This week is another short week but damn am I unmotivated to do anything.

      Briefly had an option at an old job where we could flex our time throughout the week.

      Boys and I could cover for each other’s duties, so we arranged out where we each worked 10 hours a day and alternated having opposite Mondays and Fridays off.

      It worked out that every 2 weeks we had 4-day weekends without burning any vacation time.

      And with the horrid commute I had every day, leaving 2 hours early meant that I beat the traffic, which message I effectively only worked 1 extra hour and got way more time off.

      But then I got a job offer for my current position I just couldn’t turn down. I work more, but the money is way better.
