A cold beer in my belly,
A day off work to enjoy it all,
And cricket on the tele.
But back to work the next day,
It just seems so bloody alien,
Where's my day off to recover?
Fuck this! It's un-Australian!
I know, I know, most of you linking up are mums who work 24/7... but shoddy poetry has it's limits!
Also, massive apologies to Dorothea MacKellar for bastardizing your poem. But *ahem* let's just Flog, OK?
PMSL!! I was told yesterday that even mums need a day off. By a husband who has now gone away for a boys buck show weekend!
ReplyDeleteDouble standards much?
Thanks Glow
This totally should have been a four day weekend. Just because.
ReplyDeleteWe had a 4 day weekend for CNY celebrations over here last week.
ReplyDeleteAnd a lot of people extended the Hols to this weekend by taking 3 more days off work this week haha.
At least it's work on a Friday! It will end earlier in any case :p
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
Yeah, mums don't get recovery days. Suuuuuuucks!
ReplyDeleteI managed an extra long weekend and don't go back to work until Tuesday, but you're right I'll still be mothering 24/7 during that time :(
ReplyDeleteI fucking LOVE this.
ReplyDeleteMr Blacks boss gave them today off too. He said "I'm not paying you lot for a public holiday and we don't even get a long weekend" I think I want to kiss his boss. I like his style. Shame it's such shithouse weather!
An extra day off would have been incredibly useful - yesterday my baby turned 10, and I am emotionally exhausted! I like the way your mind thinks :)

My poor hubby had to drag his butt back to work today - on his BIRTHDAY! If there was ever an excuse for a long weekend this should have been it!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with all these bucks parties lasting for entire weekends? What happened to one night???
ReplyDeleteMap Guy used 2 flexi days to take a 5 day weekend so we could go down south and visit all the family :)
ReplyDeleteTaking care of kids while you have a hang over is haaard!
ReplyDeletewoot woot!
ReplyDeletebirthday parties are always emotionally, physically and financially exhausting!
ReplyDeletehope you enjoy the time off !! jealous of you roasting in the sun while I whine with a glass of wine in the snow xx
ReplyDeleteI think it's a fucking fabulous poem!
