Good morning, my lovely friends!
First of all, it's Sunday! That alone makes it a good day. And on top of that, It's Super Bowl Sunday! It's my holiday. I have no problem with working most holidays. I am lucky enough to get to work with my sister for most of them, including the past 5 Christmas's. However, when it comes to the big game, I take it off. It's the one day where I simply enjoy the day. I even usually take the next day off. Not because I drink, I choose not to. I take it off because I might be eating a lot of junk food, and I like to give my system a day to recover.
When I started my current job, I was scheduled to work the 4 Super Bowls that I was in the position (direct care for individuals with intellectual disabilities). That was just how my rotation worked out. I tried to switch with people, but that never panned out. Now don't get me wrong, we had fun. We had parties, ate some delicious food. We would get the big stuff done, and then we would enjoy the game. We did have lots of fun.
When I accepted the current position at my work, I told myself that I would then take the day off, and I haven't worked the past 5 big games (this year will make 6). There's nothing like getting to watch the game at home (or wherever you would like to celebrate). I get to make the food that I want, watch the game in my jammies, and just generally relax and enjoy the celebration.
With whatever you choose to do today, I hope you get to enjoy it (even if it's the commercials).
