If I have a Monday off for some reason, the rest of the week it's just harder for me to get myself motivated and going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off/page/2#post-2203514 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 22:26:53 +0000 808love 2203514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that Monday is good for recovery but there are a lot of holidays that fall on Monday so I pick Friday's to maximize days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2203457 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 20:46:04 +0000 lady baltimore 2203457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday! This past Memorial Day weekend, that Sunday night felt awesome! And Fridays are always a little easier since they are the end of the week anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2203451 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 20:34:31 +0000 cat620 2203451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say Fridays! I think it would jumpstart the weekend and make it easier to plan fun things to do as a family or to take a 3 day trip somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2203447 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 20:32:53 +0000 winniebee 2203447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Monday's off post baby and loved it. Regroup from weekend. And Monday's suck and suddenly became my fave day! My office gave me a few extra vacation days to compensate for Monday holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2203307 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 17:17:03 +0000 Finfan 2203307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take Mondays. I have Monday mornings off and it's so easy to get doctor's appointments etc. None of the doctors or dentists around here seem to work Fridays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202541 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 23:03:01 +0000 DesertDreams88 2202541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back when I had the option, I always took Wednesdays off.... then I never had to work more than two days in a row :) It was such a nice mid-week break!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202338 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 17:39:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2202338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friday.

An extra day is an extra day!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202241 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:07:21 +0000 lemondrop 2202241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mondays, since my husband usually has them off in exchange for working Saturdays, which I really don't mind!</p> <p>The only downside is that my work usually finds all sorts of Monday morning crises that I get dragged into via multiple e-mails on Monday mornings like today since I work from home most nights. Fridays are nice since most people want to start the weekend ASAP, so drama is usually limited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202238 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:03:11 +0000 su9su9 2202238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Monday. Fridays are usually more quiet in the office, so it almost feel like a "free" day anyway :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202231 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:01:12 +0000 snickers 2202231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday for sure! I work part time just Thursday's and Fridays and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202228 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:58:34 +0000 Mama Bird 2202228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who has Mondays off... she gets an extra day added to her vacation every time a holiday falls on a Monday. So that's really awesome. Not sure if that's just policy where she works, or anywhere people can do a 4-day week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202205 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:32:30 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2202205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have every other Friday off and love it. I get 4 day weekends around some holidays, we get a jump start when we are headed out of town for the weekend. </p> <p>Mondays are typically my most productive day with the least amount of meetings, so I would feel like I was catching up all week if I had Mondays off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202186 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:22:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2202186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh has Friday's off and it's so nice! When I start working I would love to get a job where I work four days instead of five. I would prefer Friday's because then it would always be three days off for all of us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202173 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 14:07:32 +0000 MrsKRB 2202173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Monday to recover from Sunday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202161 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:57:44 +0000 Ree723 2202161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday! Friday was always a fun day at work as people seem to be winding down to the weekend, and of course, then there were after work drinks to attend as well.... </p> <p>That being said, I haven't worked since becoming a mum so I can't say which I'd prefer if I were a working mum, but thinking back to when I was working, I definitely would have preferred having Mondays off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202146 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:44:25 +0000 chopsuey 2202146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202145 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 13:42:46 +0000 lamariniere 2202145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a job once where I had to work the Saturday shift every few months, but then I had Sunday and Monday off. I admit, Monday off is really nice. Getting errands done is fantastic because everyone else is working so lines are generally shorter. There is also something really fabulous about sitting around in a cafe on Monday enjoying a leisurely coffee while everyone else is at the office. The week feels shorter when it starts on Tuesday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202088 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 12:56:31 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2202088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friday traffic is much worse, so Fridays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202037 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 12:04:54 +0000 Alivoo01 2202037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friday's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2202035 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 12:04:11 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2202035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I reenter the work force I'd prefer Mondays. DH is more likely to have Monday off than Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201992 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 11:28:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 2201992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Fridays off now and I like it. A lot happens on Mondays in my line of work - I think I would feel really behind. (Says the lady on HB on a Monday...) By the time Friday rolls around, things are slowing down and I can usually keep up by just doing a few emails during nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201985 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 11:19:19 +0000 Corduroy 2201985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works 4 days a week. He used to take Monday off but he found he always felt behind and like it would hurt his career. He switched to Fridays years ago and is very happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201959 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:54:11 +0000 Greentea 2201959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friday for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201954 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:52:33 +0000 Andrea 2201954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pick Friday because a lot of holidays fall on Mondays so then you would have 4 day weekends from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201940 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:36:04 +0000 BSB 2201940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201896 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 09:57:11 +0000 littlebug 2201896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of my job, I'd much rather have Mondays off. I have to meet all the new patients who come on the floor over the weekend, and some Mondays we have nearly an entire floor turnover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-friday-off-or-monday-off#post-2201882 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 09:45:46 +0000 ShootingStar 2201882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This summer my WFH day is Mondays. Fridays tend to be a calmer day at my office and people generally leave early. It's kind of a nice segue was weekend work by having that extra day to be home. Plus DH and some friends work near my office, so most weeks we go out to lunch on Fridays, so I like to be around for that. </p>
