Did we call this or what?
We were already pumped from our kickoff rally in Asheville, and then we got another boost today with a Reuters story about vacation trends.
OK, so the story isn't exactly positive. In fact, it reiterates the entire reason behind the Five Day Weekend:
NEW YORK - More than half of U.S. workers fail to take all of their vacation days, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
Of the 56 percent who don't take advantage of all their allotted time, a third use half or less of their time off, according to a survey conducted for Hudson, the staffing and outsourcing arm of Hudson Highland Group, based in New York.
So why are we excited? Because we believe the solution to our massively broken vacation system is a longer weekend. And according to this article, we've got a pretty good leg to stand on:
One in five said they planned to take only long weekends off rather than full vacations, the survey also showed.
We all know that Americans are ridiculously deprived of leisure, but this article shines a ray of hope into the wondrous prism that is the Five Day Weekend.
Btw, today's image source is a great BBC story about how the pace of modern life is killing people. Cheers!

You idiots don't need some goddamn washington bureaucrat to tell your boss how many days off your going to take.
You're obviously being duped by a bunch of fucking socialists to get more government control of business.
You want a 5 day weekend? Take it ASSHOLE! If everyone does it, then business will have to put up with it. You'll find however that people are WILLING to work more. THAT'S THE NATURE OF COMPETITION. SOMETHING YOU LAZY MARXIST BASTARDS WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
I actually saw a blog entry that said 5 day weekends would save the environment LOL!!!
I know what I'd do with my 5 day weekend... Jet Ski, drive, fly somewhere, go boating... Yep, that ought to help clean the air.
IDIOTS!
