Saturday, Saturday, Ssaturday

I never realised that Saturdays, especially the kind you aren’t required to work on, have so much potential. Think about it this way-
Friday night is out. You’re either tired from getting up so early to go to work early, and as such you don’t really feel like doing a god damned thing. Saturday rolls around, you’re all refreshed from not doing a great deal on Friday night. Unfortunately, most of my saturdays consist of me cleaning my perpetually messy jess-cave and listening to music all day.
A decent Saturday has both good points and bad points. I’ll start with the negatives;
- Children have the day off school and thus if you go into public, there’s guaranteed to be screaming, crying, bumping into them, them bumping into you, them wanting to ask you why you have x and not y. I’m not the biggest fan of children, and Saturday seems to bring out the worst in them.
- Drinking is expensive on a Saturday. Compared to say, a Thursday at the RE, you’ll pay at least double the amount of money on drinks. There’s rarely any sweet deals on drinks on Saturdays.
- I always get sunburnt. If and when I leave my house on a Saturday, I come home sunburnt. I know that sounds odd, but it doesn’t happen any other day.
Fortunately for me, there are a large number of positives to accompany the negatives.
- People are more relaxed on a weekend, and unless they already have plans, they’ll generally do whatever’s going.
- Better bands play at the basement.
- Sleeping in.
- You don’t have work the next day, and as a result you can do whatever you like that night.
- Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) ![]()
- It’s not a Sunday (I’ll rant about Sundays later. Grr, sundays.)
…and there are more, I just can’t be bothered listing them all off for you.
In any event, I support work free Saturdays. Sitting around listening to music is awesome.
