America has this fascination with work.There are 13 Federal holidays, but most companies only acknowledge 6 of them. People lose vacation time because they are afraid that if they don’t show up for work, bosses will notice that their work is still getting done without them.
I’ve gotten work-related emails to my work account that are sent after hours and on the weekend.
There are times when events won’t wait and things have to be addressed on “personal time.” If that time is every evening and every weekend, then you are either in the wrong job or you take your work too seriously.
Life is short: as the old saying goes, “Nobody puts on their tombstone: Gee, I wish I spent more time at the office.”

The Beatles wrote a song about this very situation, eighth day wise.

That’s what tomorrow is. In Iceland we call it “the Second Day of Pentecost”.
