)I've worked pretty hard over the last few weeks for quite a few days in a row, long days of over 12 hours each, and I arrived at this weekend - my first two days off in a while - feeling pretty drained. Don't get me wrong, my work isn't physically demanding, I don't swing a sledge hammer breaking rocks in a quarry with only a crust of bread and sip of water a day to sustain myself, but my work is mentally taxing and I have to stay very focused for long periods of time.
Anyway, I arrived at this weekend needing two days off...and fucking hell, here I am with three fucking days off instead!
That's good shit!
This weekend I'm doing nothing but good shit. I'm eating out for every meal or getting take-out at home, visiting with some friends, taking a drive into the country for a hike and picnic and other good fucken shit like that. It helps to have Monday off...more time to do more good shit.
Three days off...that's good shit.
And a weekend of doing nothing but good shit...that's some good shit right there!
Part of my weekend will focus around music, I've shared some below, and I want to do some reading, a lot of reading because the book I'm reading is worth reading...it's good shit.
I'm not going to do any work, that can wait until next week, the beginning of which will be spent preparing to travel for five or so days from Thursday next week for work, but I'll not be thinking about it as I'll be too busy doing good shit.
Anyway, I'm here talking shit when I could be elsewhere doing good fucken shit so I'm fucken out of here...to do some good shit.
Here's my tracks for this weekend, all by American country singer/songwriter Hardy, you'll probably fucken hate them all and that's fine with me; I don't care if you like them or not - I don't give a shit - I think they're good shit and that's what matters.

Sounds like a well deserved extra long weekend! Enjoy!! And… I might not like it, but we’ll never know until I tried! So going to give Hardy a listen tonight! 😉🙏

Yep, it's going to be cool, three days of fucksomeness! (That's a combination of fucken awesomeness)
Also, no need to litter my posts with this rubbish, save it for someone else's.

Come get MOONed!
Mental work is worse than physical work. The latter can be solved with proper nutrition and good rest. However, mental fatigue often generates stress and is more difficult to solve. Happy weekend. Cheers and greetings.
Yep, stress. There's good stress and bad stress and the latter is quite damaging.
You need rest
And a psychiatrist.
Yes
This is one of the most beautiful views.
Surely is.
I'm so glad you have three days off, well deserved!!! Mental work is sometimes much harder and if it's extremely demanding it can even damage your health, so resting, clearing your mind and doing good things will do you a world of good! Then you can return to work with renewed energy!
I hope you have a great weekend, full of wonderful things! Hugs!
Indeed, renewed energy just in time for another interstate work trim I'm the coming week.
Have a good weekend.
Well done, enjoy!🤗
This one could qualify for the Optimism topic...
No Shit
Really...
I am...
"Not Shitting You"
Optimistic shit indeed!
You who were expecting a two-day break, but now you have a three-day break, will be a reason for your mental stress to subside. Continuous work can cause your mental level to drop to a certain level. It is at such times that the mind needs a break. The outdoor activities you mentioned will increase your mental stability and bring you back to your usual self. I wish you a happy and enjoyable weekend.
Thank you, I'm sure it'll be a good three days, Saturday has been enjoyable indeed. Have a good weekend yourself.
What's that good book you're reading?)
It's a book about the Knights Templar focusing on their organisational structure and how they built their wealth.
Sounds like you’ve more than earned this well-deserved break enjoy every moment of that “good shit”!
During the last few working weeks I did some good shit so have been rewarded with some good shit, a three day weekend, and I'm spending it doing some good shit.
I hope your weekend is one that delivers some good shit to you also.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope that all your days are filled with good things.
Now you made me curious, what book is that?
After a full trip and an upcoming one soon I get that you don't even want to cook, just keep doing what relax and what you like, duties can wait a week
I had some bad shit, driving under the falling ice (whatever it's called in English) storm, not fun
That storm sounds like bad shit but it's good shit that you made it out safely and hope your weekend has some more good shit to offer.
The book is, Templars: The Rise, Fall & Secretive Return of the Knights Templar” by Conrad Bauer. Fascinating, and good shit. It's about the rise and fall of the order, their organisational structure and so on. It's probably not what most would want to read but I'm not most, I'm me.
Have a good weekend.
yea im never afraid to drive with any weather but what worried me is the glass that could be broken while driving
i tried search that book but seems quite niche, i had to give up and ask chatgpt...lovely, everything history related is my thing
enjoy your free days!
We live based on "behaving well" to be loved and the truth is that we rarely get it. When we do, they don't love us but what they made of us. So enjoy to the fullest, "behave well or badly" without caring about anything, to everything that gives your energy and your will to live, here and now, Galenkp.
Full enjoyment is my thing, well said.
It would be Monday again very soon :) Get as much Rest as you can. And yes, you always do a lot of good shit writing here too!
Yep, Monday off.
Well deserved!
I remember there was a time in my life when I had to work two jobs:
A full-time job working M-F 6:00am-2:30pm.
A second job working a few weeknights from 6:00pm-10:00pm, plus all weekends and holidays usually from 10:00am-5:00pm.
For 6 straight months, I did not have a single day off. Granted, my second job was at a theme park so I was just pretty much playing around and not really working.
I can't do stuff like that anymore LOL.
Enjoy your three-day weekend!
Six months is a long time with no day off but if it needs to be done then it's worth doing. Way to go, good responsibility and discipline shown.
Sounds like you're going to spoil yourself this weekend, and well deserved so! And this post will definitely up your score in @holoz0r's swear word count 😅
That Rednecker song is very funny 🤣 The last one is interesting, as everything that includes taking justice into one's own hands. But I'm not much in the condition to think right now, so I'll leave it there. Just shared my own selection for today, stumbled over some nice tunes this week.
Enjoy your weekend!
It is a fair effort on the swear-o-meter
We should really create that "Swear-Jar" account 🤣
I wouldn't want to artificially inflate the number of active hive accounts ;)
And it would be a very, very active account 🤣
Having three days off will allow you to rest and do various activities. Going to the countryside is a great plan. I hope you enjoy your days off to the fullest.
Best regards!
Enjoying the days off for sure. Hiking in the country today, picnic lunch...doesn't get much better.
It's the best way to recharge your batteries and admire the beauty of nature. This week I'm planning to go to the countryside with my family.
I hope you have a nice time with your family. 😊
Thank you very much 🤗
People who don't do mentally taxing work don't realise just how tiring it is.
Though do you ever get the people who know literally nothing at all about your job and how long you take to do things confidently assert that something that they asked "should only take a few minutes"? That used to do my head in when I was doing webdev.
Was it a long weekend over there or did you give yourself a long weekend? :D Was it nice weather for hiking? It wasn't brilliant over here but I wouldn't have been able to get out this weekend anyway as we had comps.
Yep, those people exist, clueless fuckers. It annoys me to be honest, but I try not to let it stick, I mean a cluess person is going to react commensurate to their cluelessness.
No long weekend, I took Monday off. I go to Melbourne later this week for five or six days and once back there's only a week here and I'm off to Sydney for the same time frame. Brisbane after that and then Perth. In between there's a job to do back here if course, it's a hectic schedule.
Wow in pretty much every industry huh O_O
That's quite a fair bit of travelling! I'm both surprised and not surprised in the slightest that you're down my way for work :)
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Perth, nice spot indeed! It's a lot like Adelaide really, climate and people. Should be good. It's also the last work trip I have to do for the year (November) so that's a good thing. I'm looking forward to two weeks off at Christmas.
Hardy is pretty awesome. I'm glad he stepped out from just being a songwriter and started recording some of his own stuff. Have you listened to his album where he mixes metal and country songs? It's pretty good.
Yep, I've heard that...really good for sure.
