I wish my graphing calculator hadn't died

Yet another Saturday spent at work. I can't complain, because I do it by choice to earn days off for vacations etc, but it still gets tiring. Since tomorrow is Mother's Day, Luis suggested that I work half a day today and half a day tomorrow, so that Deoscoidy could take a few hours off tomorrow to spend time with his family. We ended up not doing that, but the idea is an intriguing one that sounds like it would make a nice regular schedule — one weekend, you work Saturday and Sunday for 5 hours each, and the next weekend, you get one day off (say Friday). That way every other week you get a three-day weekend, and the weekends that you work aren't TOTALLY consumed by work, so it is still kind of like a free day. Of course, there's also the possibility of just working one full weekend shift one week and getting a day off the next. Each has their pros and cons. I guess the ideal setup would be to be able to pick between the two each week depending on your plans for the weekend. Hmm, I might have to run that idea past Luis sometime...
