Link of the Day [7.19.25]

broderic on July 19, 2025

This should post on Saturday when most any working person has the day off. Saturday is only the first day of the two days for that comprise the weekend. Everyone would love to have a three day weekend.

I do. I have a three day weekend, because my job has gone to a 4-40 schedule.

I love the three day weekend. I am even writing this post on my day off — Friday!

Except that to have this I have to work a mind and ass-numbing 10 hours Monday to Thursday. It’s asinine. Let’s just do thirty-two hours of work for the four days. I know this is impossible for the Capitalists to understand or to agree with.

So I’ll compromise. Thirty-six hours. Nine hours a day. Four days a week. And I’ll still sleep in on Fridays.

Meat

They eat a lot of meat in Germany.

I ate a lot of meat in Germany. I wish I didn’t. I could’ve used a salad or two. At least the pizza at Thursday’s lunch was something different.

Bread

I could go for a pretzel right now.

Picture is of the selection of pretzel bread available to you as you wander around Munich, Germany. What’s missing is the sandwiches that could be made with said bread. Schnitzel. Some ham. Some turkey. In America, we have wraps. In Germany, they wrap a pretzel around it.
