Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?
When you do this long enough, not having to work for a few days is all the reward you need to make Friday exciting.
Hello, fellow oldhead!
That and the fact you can turn off the morning alarm!
I’m glad I don’t gotta go to work, but that’s basically it.
Nah, I have kids, there are no weekends
Yes. It’s a shorter work day.
Relief, not excitement
You gotta plan stuff on your weekends. Give yourself something to look forward to.
My schedule usually changes every few months and it’s happened often enough now that any day feels like Friday if I don’t have to work the day after.
it’s more like relief, I get home and I instantly drop into bed all comfy knowing I’ll be snoozing late tomorrow.

I used to get the Saturday equivalent, but with my anhedonia, even lounging feels like a chore.
Never felt it in the first place, weekends always used to be stressful as a kid and it took a long time for them not to turn me into an anxious mess.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a job with weekends off. Or even any other specific days consistently off from one week to the next, more generally. It does sound nice though, I think I’d like that.
I work two jobs and have no days off but Friday is the start of not having to drive the next morning so yeah, in a way.
get a worse or more boring job.
The firm I work for has flex scheduling, so I get a half-day every Friday. (Could be a 4-10 if I wanted, but I don’t want to do a 4-10)
I get all my chores done by 3PM on Fridays and then the entire weekend is my oyster.
It’s glorious.
