Friday... how I love thee..

Fridays are great. Not much work.. usually leave early and more recently.. the introduction of grey's anatomy..

you avid tv watchers (mostly talking to kd here), would be quick to correct me. Grey's anatomy is on Sunday.. no?.. yes and no.

I've begun replaying the show every week (starting from the beginning) for some fellow workers in a well picked presentation room. So, I've in esscence got a bunch of people hooked, and it feels great. Nothing beats a great tv show other than a great tv show with a bunch of people to talk about it with. Fridays could be even better if they led into... wait for it... a 56 hour weekend.

No, I'm not crazy. I'm talking about the concept of the 28 hour day. Before you think the lack of schooling has gone to my head, hear my out.. it's actually an interesting idea, in the age of lights and curtains.

So, a work week is how long... 40 hours (supposedly). That means we could equally do 4 days @ ten hours vs the 5 days @ eight hours we currently endure. That leaves an extra two hours for more relaxation/sleep whatever.

How does this help?.... think about commuting. How about reducing that by 1/5, including the pollution that goes with it. How about you being able to identify the day by the time of sunrise or sunset? How about a reduction in crime as night will not always coincide with darkness?... etc.. Overall, it's an increase in efficiency.

I know this will likely never happen as there are billions or possibly even trillions of dollars invested in software and products that coincide with a seven day week. But it is something to think about. It seems like an advanced society would put the crap aside and go for what's more efficient as in the end it would be the most beneficial.

There are also the biological factors which are something that cannot be ignored as we have always been used to a certain cycle. But some quick googling found that we are actually more in tune with a 25 hour day than 24, so maybe 28 isn't so ridiculous.

In any case, some thinking outside of the box for you.
