4 Day Weekends; 3 Day Workweeks

Because of how the holidays fell this year, I was able to take 4 day weekends and work a 3 day work week. Even in today's whirlwind work day, I've found that I'm more productive putting a 5 day workload into 3 days. Think any companies will go for a 4 day weekend and 3 day work week? I didn't think so either.

Today I added a new feature to my blog: Links. I placed a link to my friend's blog, who is a much better writer than I am. And I also placed a link to Pat Sajak's blog on his official website. Given that it is his blog, I hope he doesn't mind that I linked to it. Blogs are meant to be read after all, right? If he requests, I will remove it. But I like his blog, and I like his thoughful, insightful, and witty takes on many of today's issues. And it's refreshing to know that he is a conservative voice in Hollywood that I agree with most of the time. Sajak would probably make a very good politican. Back in 1990, when he was hosting The Pat Sajak Show on CBS, I wrote him a letter asking advice on how I could be successful in television and become a game show host just like him. He wrote me back the most wonderful, personal letter. While his advice was great, unfortunately I didn't follow it, which is probably one reason why I am not in television, and not a game show host today! But because it's a personal letter from him, I cherish it... except right now I can't find it. See what can happen when you move 5 times in 8 years?
