Last night I shared a train home with one of my students, who was enjoying one of the perks of working in his department. Because of the amount of stress that his department is under, they are required to go home on both Monday and Wednesday without working any overtime. The entire company observes “no overtime day” on Wednesday, but he has Monday as well. Most of my students usually work until between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., so at least on a couple of days a week they can get home and rest a little.
As for me, I had the evening to myself as Kuniko was out and about doing fun things like having lunch, trying hot yoga, and having a birthday dinner for one of her coworkers. She was pretty tired by the time she got back in the evening, and we went pretty much directly to bed.
I used my free morning to catch up on my American TV shows, and also to do a little paperwork at home. Tomorrow and Friday I have completely off, so an easy week continues.
