We have just had a 2 day holiday for Presidents Day and will get a week off in March for Spring Break, followed by 3 days in April for Easter. The advantage of working at a Catholic university!!!! I love it! In addition, in lieu of a pay raise, (😞) our university has moved to a 4 day work week. In a normal week we would work 5 7 hour days. Now we can work 32 hours over 4 days and are given the extra 3 hours paid off time. Many are taking a whole day, but I decided to spread mine over 2 days. I work 8-12 on a Tuesday and Thursday and after eating lunch and walking with my friends (a tradition we started pre pandemic) I head to my university choir rehearsal (with Laura Greenwald) for 1 1/2 hours then home to cook dinner in a leisurely manner. It actually works best for my office coverage and so far I am loving it. Singing really helps me relax!!! So I definitely endorse taking time off for whatever activity makes you happy!!! Enjoy your break too!
I love your idea of taking two afternoons off--and spacing them out like that too. What a great way to keep the stress from building up, and also having time for errands and appointments. And I totally agree about singing. Please tell Laura I said hi!
