Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?
unfnknblvbl, I don’t think I’ve ever had this feeling, to be honest.
TexMexBazooka, Nah, I have kids, there are no weekends
overload, Was going to say this. The work week is easier than weekends.
TexMexBazooka, Lol yeah, especially working from home
overload, I work from home too. While it’s so so good, being so close to the family does mean I’m working full time + helping out with the family…
The_Che_Banana, Yes, but for us our “Friday” is actually Tuesday.
We cultivate it by getting our asses kicked all weekend!
solitaire, 
Never felt it in the first place, weekends always used to be stressful as a kid and it took a long time for them not to turn me into an anxious mess.
IoSapsai, No, because after a Friday half the time comes the dreaded 13 hour shift which sucks my energy enough to not be able to do anything on Sunday.
Healthcare is a bitch sometimes.
FeelThePower, 
it’s more like relief, I get home and I instantly drop into bed all comfy knowing I’ll be snoozing late tomorrow.
tias, Relief, not excitement
MxRemy, I don’t think I’ve ever had a job with weekends off. Or even any other specific days consistently off from one week to the next, more generally. It does sound nice though, I think I’d like that.
TenderfootGungi, Yes. It’s a shorter work day.
MrJameGumb, 
My schedule usually changes every few months and it’s happened often enough now that any day feels like Friday if I don’t have to work the day after.
Zikeji, 
I work two jobs and have no days off but Friday is the start of not having to drive the next morning so yeah, in a way.
shinigamiookamiryuu, I used to get the Saturday equivalent, but with my anhedonia, even lounging feels like a chore.
willya, 
I’m glad I don’t gotta go to work, but that’s basically it.
shinigamiookamiryuu,
FlashMobOfOne, 
The firm I work for has flex scheduling, so I get a half-day every Friday. (Could be a 4-10 if I wanted, but I don’t want to do a 4-10)
I get all my chores done by 3PM on Fridays and then the entire weekend is my oyster.
It’s glorious.
Shdwdrgn, When you do this long enough, not having to work for a few days is all the reward you need to make Friday exciting.
Blizzard, That and the fact you can turn off the morning alarm!
Anticorp, Or just don’t turn it on that evening.
friek, Hello, fellow oldhead!
