That’s the tough part about having a three day weekend coming up. It makes the current week just fucking crawl. It really doesn’t help that work has been slow. It’s summer so there are tons of folks on vacation, not to mention most of them still work from home.
Another sluggish reality is the weather. It’s summer and it’s hot. Folks move about like they’ve been sedated which, now that you mention it, might be the best way to get through the summer doldrums.
Never mind that shit! A three day weekend is our prize for surviving this slog of a week and we’re going to enjoy that shit dammit!
What do you have planned for the long weekend? Grilling? Sounds great! Drinking? Better yet! Drinking while grilling? Times up, we have a winner!
Let us know how your summer is going and what’s on the agenda for the long weekend.
We can get through this Wednesday together!
Take it away folks.

I plan on going to a dirtball game with The Good Mrs.Reefer on Sunday, eating some ‘Murrican ball park junk food, and getting all good n’ drunk during and after the game.
Monday will be spent recovering & soundproofing our bedroom windows against the idiots celebrating the birth of our country by blowing up a small part of it.
I went to the Air & Space Museum today. I walked in, went to center of the hall by the SR-71, and blasted an enormous fart I had been saving for over a week. It shuddered the entire building and all the planes. And the stink! It was definitely a fire hazard.
Bottom line is that I had the museum to myself after that:
“What’s a weekend?”

Monday-Wednesday
For the Tour guys. Sadly not the case for those of us in the business. I don’t think I’ve had a summertime weekend or holiday off in the 2000’s.
And people are shocked when the divorce rate of your average course professional is something like 70% and drug use is insanely high. We aren’t right in the head.

You’re amongst fellow wackos.
Sounds like you guys got it made.

Are you saying you can score Hippo some pills? I have always wanted to drive through Utah/Montana/etc
I’ll be snorting mountains of coke off a Dallas hooker’s great big tits and praying for the souls of the underprivileged, like you.
God bless America and the NRA.
A supplier rep wanted to do a presentation tomorrow afternoon (We’ve Friday off up here) and my response was the polite version of, “Oh that’s fucking hilarious-I’m not going to be held hostage by a Silly Billy that has the gall to try and schedule a meeting with less than 24 hours notice.”
You should be all liek BRUH! Do you even Canadia??
Grinding through this week by taking Friday off. Four day weekend, bitches!
Going to a pool party at my sisters in law’s house for the 4th. If the Rev is lurking, congrats on the cute little squisherface!
I guess we now know R. Kelly’s plans next dozens of summers:

Good. Creep.
Oh and for answering the prompt, we are having a handful of people over to grill. I’m still not drinking, though, 17 days down, 15 to go.
Fuck I hate getting old. Ran to get the door and popped my calf. I am in a decent amount of pain.
Was it a liquor delivery? That would at least make your sacrifice worth something.
Honestly, it was because I was expecting a liquor delivery (which came later in the day). Proximate cause was Amazon.
You haven’t gotten #TrulyOld until you have to get medical attention for hurting yourself in your goddamned SLEEP.
I know two different people who broke their ankle getting out of bed. Don’t get out of bed, it’s too dangerous.
Calf injuries suck.
Any advice? (Beyond RICE)
Did she apologize for that, too?
Honestly? Seek professional advice and follow what they tell you. Mine led to a cascade of issues that made me give up distance running, so anything I would tell you has been proved wrong.
Other than not to do any distance running in the first place.
I was going to relax but my parents invited people over to their house and they asked me to help out. Now I have two days to fake my kidnapping and/or death.
All these posts about setting away messages and enjoying multiple days off — where is the HUSTLE? Where is the GRIND? This is the end of this bull run and you are all buying? Sheeeeeeiiiiiiittttttt — some motherfuckers want to overpay for MY SERVICES, they can all line right up in the sun because that rainy day just around the corner.
-Some JJ Watt/Clay Davis Mashup In My Head
I’m salaried, so grind or no grind I get paid the same. Therefore taking all my vacation time
This your time to SIDE HUSTLE! *Wink*

Ooh, I fucking hate this MAGA shithead Isner. Get him, Andy Murray!
Lurch is a MAGA guy? Didn’t know that. All I know about him is every set is a tiebreaker because he can’t return serve and no one can return his serve (oversimplification? whatever I am lazy)
That’s how I came to like his Slavic predecessor (Ivanisovic?). Because my serve ABSOLUTELY SUCKS, and I envied it. Don’t want to look up his politics, know that current Lurch is Q-curious, at minimum. Very Q-aaron vibes.
I thought this ketchup story was REALLY the end of Trump though…
Good point, Isner probably bailed once he found out that Trump is a spoiled, unhinged maniac.
Hang out with friends at their pool. (may or may not add extra “p” while there)
Drank (chuh-chuh)
Eat grilled meats
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
PHang out with friends at their pool?
Oh, sure, you can have your extra “u” in words, but I do it and its all mockery and disdain?
Should have said “Hanging out with friends at their ool.”
see the 12 year old GTD was thinking “poop” and not “pool” for the extra “P”, but it didn’t make any sense. No distain or mockery intended

Taking wee man hiking in the mountains for Canadia day. Seems to have been hijacked by Freedumb protestors in most cities.
Still no official announcement regarding the promotion but the entire building knows and I’ve been learning the new job duties.
Spoiler: it’s insanely easy.
Now how about my raise?!
SHOW ME THE MONEY
SHOW ME THE MONEY
MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY
Oh, there won’t be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you’ll receive total consciousness. So, you’ve got that going for you, which is nice.
My weekend is supposed to start tomorrow at noon. My company has told the Canadian folks to stop working at noon on Thursday and the American folks noon on Friday, so hooray for a 3 and half day weekend. I’m also taking next week off, so looking forward to the break and working away at stuff around the house.
For our holiday on Friday the kids both work that day, so will be the driver as they are working for the Canada Day celebration at the lake for the city and there’s no parking allowed down there for the staff.And of course, one works the early shift and the other works the late shift, so prob getting a nap in the middle somewhere.
No plans for grilling or anything at this point.
I’ll be watching Wimbledon all week, so I presume there will be *some* grinding going on, though less than usual thanks to the slick surfaces.
Did I just set my out of office e-mail for the week, starting at 6p this evening?
Head to the beach Buddy
good point, Pretend Man City could use an island destination for 2155 training camp!
Dude
We are having a butt hot summer so far, unseasonably. The Po River is at a 70 year low, and many municipalities are prohibiting car washing and lawn watering. That said the veggie garden is starting produce, and I have a kick ass tan already. For the 4th my girls insist on a good Ole US, in the yard, Kingsbury charcoal fueled grillin and chillin BBQ. Gonna do ribeyes, patatos, peppers and zucchini.
The most fun thing I have planned for this weekend is waking up Monday at who-gives-a-fuck-o’clock. Looking forward to it!
I envy that. My brain is an asshole, and ever since I had kids it will wake me up before 8 (usually before 7), no matter what.
There’s an app to help that. (the app is beer)
THAT makes me so hungover that I can’t fall back asleep after my middle-of-night pee (and honestly, I usually have to do that at least twice, WITHOUT beer in the old squirrel bladder)
I suggest an Andy Sidaris movie marathon.
Watching Enemy Gold right now
All sorts of slingy thingy’s goin on here.
Think I’m gonna get more acquainted with Sparks this weekend. I saw the Edgar Wright movie two nights ago and… Didn’t love it, but those fellas’ commitment to create new music regardless of fashion or prior works is badass. Been listening to the music, and there’s some damn good stuff. And I may be obsessed with the art of their albums
https://youtu.be/ZnVA1uO5QM8
One of the most important bands in my early music formation. I still have tons of their stuff that I listen to during the morning walk.
One of my favorite songs ever from the same album.

Wooooooooooo Sparks! I love them!
