Does your work week calendar look a bit like this?
Mine too.
How about your weekend?
I’m as guilty as the next person of jamming my work calendar with as much as I think I can reasonably — and sometimes not so reasonably — handle.
(I’m freelance. The busier I am, the more I make.)
But when it comes to my weekends — or whatever days end up being free that week — I am hesitant to schedule too much. I crave the lack of responsibility. The chance for solitude.
No deadlines or time schedules.
Spur-of-the-moment activities are always welcome. But elaborate weekend plans?
That’s too much like work.
Dog days
Dear New Yorker merchandising department:
Please bring back your Dog Cartoons calendars.
I have bought these wall calendars for years. Last year, I couldn’t find that version, but I started shopping in January…so I blamed it on a lack of inventory.
Now I realize they weren’t made in 2012. And early shopping reveals they aren’t around for 2013 either.
This is not a good way to start the year, New Yorker. I need my monthly dose of doggie humor. Now, be a good boy and bring them back…okay?
I’ll give you a treat.
