    DAY OFF? Fact or Fiction

    I've heard there's this thing called a day off. I'm not sure the particulars because it always seems to elude me. I think I can recall seeing one, once upon a time but the distant past just keeps getting harder and harder to see. A last resort to find one saw me looking on the schedule, lo and behold I could swear I saw one today, or at least I thought I did till my boss calls me up and sends me 3 hours west of my house to do what? Work!

    Can anybody tell me if there is such a thing as a day off. I'd really like to know and they say "knowing is half the battle"

    Thanks in advance!!

    I can relate, In my home I haven't seen one in a while. But my wife and kids find one every so often, usually in the winter. They call it underwear day.

                  It exist, but relative

                  It is all relative. A day off from what? I get weekends off all the time from work. Then it is home to work on the house, do stuff for the wife, or the four kids, or church. Then I get time off of that to go back to work. With a fifth one on the way, doesn't look any easier for at least 20 years.....

                    Ontarians can't be morons. There is a Liberal government in power in Ontario.

                        Well....that makes sense, I think the only "good" thing they did was give us "Family day" for a holiday in Feb.....one more day off is OK by me,,,at least I think it was them

                        Still better than BC though...........

                            A day off is imaginary for a bloke working at/from home.
                            My office is inside the house .. my lab/workshop too .. and everyone beyond my yard is a potential client .
                            I rarely get away from work.. everywhere I go, there tis !

                            I 'play' boats because electronics and water dont mix...
                            WRONG !

                              I get the weekends off. Then I have to work the week so the mules can rest.
