Thursday Thirteen, Five Day Weekend style

Thirteen things you didn't know about the Friends of the Five Day Weekend:

1. We are not alone.

2. Actually, there are more than 500 of us just on MySpace.

3. And thousands have signed the petition

4. Our plan might save lives.

5. We're not the first to propose this.

6. We really enjoyed this guy's take on overwork.

7. Our site, Fivedayweekend.org, is currently ranked 168,348th on Technorati.

8. We won't be happy until we're 145,208th.

9. Our bus, the Work Less Express, literally stopped working after the Atlanta rally. We were so proud.

10. But now it's back, and it's barreling toward Greensboro, N.C.

11. As much as we've researched the history of time off, we still learned a lot from this great article.

12. We're honored to be endorsed by SpiderElvis.

13. We are chagrined to find ourselves working on a Thursday, two days into the weekend. But that's how much we care.

What better friend for your MySpace profile than the leisure revolutionaries?

That's right, The Five Day Weekend now has a MySpace page, which is quickly becoming a gathering spot for people who'd rather get out and enjoy life than work themselves into an early grave.

So head on over to our MySpace page and "friend" us. Then go outside, or go to a nice little cafe, or send us some photos or videos of you enjoying the good life. Maybe you'll motivate someone not to work 70 hours this week.

Oh, and we have a physical mailing address now, on the off chance you need to send us something. (No sheep breeding newsletters, please. We've got plenty.)
