Who ever came up with the 5 day 40 hour work week anyways. Why didn't they come up with work the weekend and off the rest of the week?
Before labor laws, the common masses worked 60-80 hours weeks, or longer, with Sunday being the only day off. Small children worked long hours in dangerous jobs. There was little free time to engage in a hobby. So our 40 hour week was a great improvement. My thanks to labor unions for that.
If you have provided for your family, then an occasional hooky day is ok. But if not, then it is irresponsible. But if you decide to play hooky anyway, then I want to say thank you from the more mature, responsible members of the work force because it gives me the chance to earn some overtime.
