If I'm taking a Friday off it's either to fish, hunt, or travel. Never understood people who waste PTO to sit at home and not do shite.

I’m taking off this Friday to play in a tournament at THE Squire Creek Country Club if that’s what you’re asking

Hey buddy I'm sitting right here.

I'm taking tomorrow and Friday off. I'm gonna watch movies and run and piddle around in the yard, maybe even weedeat or drink a beer or two.

Nothing wrong with staying at home. Nothing wrong with that at all. Not even a little bit. Not one single ounce of wrong with that. None whatsoever.

I can't wait to piddle.

Eh if you have kids, taking Friday off to have the house to yourself is therapy

This was actually the whole reason I started this thread.

Occasionally, usually in the summer. It's pretty common (but unofficial) practice in the NE to do half days on Fridays in the summer.

Every now and then we'll go to the beach since our favorite spot is only 40ish minutes away.

I usually take off every other Friday to go to the Lake or hunting camp if it's hunting season.

I'd use all of my vacation time to stay home if the wife would let me. I love sitting in my backyard and doing stuff around the house. I'm not much of a sit around type, but I do like being home more than any other place other than the golf course maybe.

All the time. Usually to get out of town for the weekend and visit friends on the East Coast.

I prefer taking random Mondays off because they suck more than Fridays at work

But then Tuesday turns into Monday. If you take a Friday off, you get 2 Saturdays, Monday turns into Tuesday, Thursday turns into Friday.

I don't ever take them off.

I do knock off after noon a lot of the time, as do a lot of people I know. I'll triage stuff as it arises and there are times when I'm slammed through the day, but it seems pretty common everywhere in my experience.

Obviously easier if you WFH (at least on Fridays, which I do).

I'm working for four outlets currently.

I usually only write articles early in the morning.

May have to interview somebody at any day/time. And go on-location.

Work every day.
