Weekend Warrior

Ever wake up on Saturday or Sunday and feel like you should just take it easy since it’s a weekend and all?

Ever been there, wishing you were off at the end of the week when friend are off. Or, maybe you just want to lie in bed until the morning passes or get to something you’ve been putting off or, even, lounge all day long. For most people the end of the week is a time, at the very least, to slow down the pace, but that’s not an option for weekend warriors, especially those whose job it is to cover news. Weekend warriors, like me, work on Saturday and Sunday. We hold down the fort, keep production going and act as a conduit for those two days between Friday and Monday.

It’s not so bad. Weekends in the newsroom tend to be quieter, calmer, a little more laid back. Don’t get it wrong though, we break out the news, up in here, on the weekend. Weekend workers get the job done on a shoe-string staff, but the newscasts have the same look and flavor.

If you’re a weekend warrior take heart, if you do like I do, you rock “whatever” days make up your weekend. 

Got a comment, drop me line.
