The Zeiss lens w the adapter makes it super long (these are w my smart phone camera), so it was a fun challenge to set up shots. My new Canon EOS EF mount 35mm camera has shutter priority, so I was working the exposure best I could.

#Weekends were mistake, says #Infosys co-founder #NarayamaMurthy
He defends his belief 70hr weeks are essential and #worklifebalance is bunk
The Infosys founder held prime minister Narendra Modi and his cabinet up as an example of proper workaholics, claiming the PM toils for 100hrs a week, and suggested not following suit demonstrates a lack of appreciation.
“Frankly I was a little bit disappointed in 1986 when we moved from a six-day week to a five-day week,” he added.

Good morning. 💤⏰☕

3 May 2024

When I worked my last job, which I held for 17 years, we worked 18-20 days straight during most months. But come Friday, somebody would say "Thank God it's Friday," and everyone would laugh, or not 😅. The weekend is ingrained in our culture, so even if we work on weekends, we are aware and feel that there should be something special about those two days. If you were around 60 years ago, more or less, you remember Saturday, as a day of no school and cartoons in the morning, albeit probably in black and white. It's still that was except the cartoon part as they are available 24/7. Back in the day, TV actually went off the air at midnight.

Do you work at weekends? Obviously, not everyone works so this is a question to people who work, day or night.

It would be interesting to know how many people don't have to work at the weekend. Is their way of life more relaxing than weekend workers?

Good morning, friends. 🌼🌼🌼

It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.

Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.

I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.
