Well... 

What a day today has been. I couldn't avoid a lot of stuff anymore so I had to go out in the freezing weather and get a bunch of stuffs done. Left the house at 8:00 and didn't get home to 3:30 😮 This is the weekend, aren't we supposed to relax and sleep in and take it easy? 

So I'm curious, as after working 26 years in stores in retail, I know I didn't like when I heard people who talked about their Monday to Friday jobs. Where some of us in retail worked any day of the week. So let me know, are you a M-F kind of person, or are you a can work any of the seven days of the week? Hopefully no one is working all seven days in a week :o. Now once again, not to be insensitive as a lot of you have had your employment status changed in the past year, so maybe go with before the pandemic started nearly a year ago. Maybe also if it rattles your cage when people talk about Monday to Friday when you aren't one of them.

We had another full week here at the GA Blog!

Monday, Cia introduced us to one of our more active authors of late, for this months CSR Feature!

Then on Tuesday we had had a bit of a surprise :wizard: Renee introduced us to a new format of Ask An Author 3.0 in January but we now have a great new Author/Member who will be taking the reigns and after the first of his many to come, it is looking great into the future!

Bright and early on Thursday morning, Renee came by with another great Anthology Entry Revised. Hmmm, am I starting to see a theme this week :gikkle: And no, there was no plan :P 

Then on Friday, our guru of the Writing Prompts was in! I do believe we had a taker on one of them already this week!!

Saturday, it is a day we put aside for some great articles from Comicality. Did you check out todays?

Now don't forget to check out the words of the day. I'm thinking I know of three people that might be taking them to heart :P (okay, maybe 4 including me).

Foozle, Besmirch, Preprandial, Brummagem, Onus, Disavow, Pastiche

Time to check on how we all did towards our Story Goals the previous week:

A lovely wrap up! Yelp review, 4/5 stars. 

Being a retail man myself, I can't tell the difference between a Friday and a Tuesday. Regardless of before or after the pandemic...I'm still stocking groceries six days, 50ish hours a week. I've been wondering why everyone has been wearing masks. I just thought it was a new fashion statement.

I understand both working any day of the week and a M-F 9-5 schedule, as I've done both.   For a long time, I worked 6-7 days a week, holidays included, with Mondays off.  Then I changed careers and had more of a M-F schedule, although pre-pandemic I was working 7:30-3:30 for the most part.

Retired here, for over seven years. I've done both as well, and there were good points to both. I did love having days off through the week. Now, I have to check the guide on my satellite TV to find out what day it is. :unsure:

I work in a hospital and I work days, evenings and weekends.. I almost never know what day of the week it is :gikkle: Sometimes you have no idea what kind of weather it is outside..

At the beginning of April I'll be retired 15 years.   Went back to work Tuesday thru Thursday in early January 2007 and finished in December of that year.  During my career, I was lucky to be able to work a flexible schedule with lots of overtime so 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 M-F and 6 to 2:30 on Saturdays.  So 58 hours most weeks. 

Since 2007 my schedule has been a lot looser and I rarely got out of bed before 9 a.m. or back to bed until well after midnight.   That is until my grandson came along in 2018.  Now he is here most mornings at 6:30 and we have him until 5:30 to 6 in the evening.  At age 73, I think I do pretty good to keep up with him most of the time...but I am exhausted most nights.
