Week off before starting new job - what would you do?

[FnG]magnolia · 13 May 2012 at 23:01

Good morning ladies.

I have this week off before starting a new role on the 21st and wondered what you guys would do with the time. I've already got Wednesday and Thursday booked out with our little one; instead of day care, we'll go to Devonport or the beach I think. Tomorrow is Stuff Around The House That Needs Fixed But I Never Have The Time day so that will be useful if not enjoyable.

Friday, I'm going to watch anime. No, I jest. I'm going to post on Reddit.

Sat/Sun are family days and getting geared up for the new job. Not quite sure how I'm going to separate those things but I'll need to.

Anyway, what would you guys do? And yes - you must be wearing clothes.

Sit, refresh Facebook, and use my own tears as lube for lonely fap sessions....

Nothing of any good.

Tomorrow - "Stuff around the house"
Tuesday - ??????
Wednesday - Stuff with small person
Thursday - More stuff with small person
Friday - Post on redit
Weekend - Family days

Looks like you've already sorted your week? :confused:

Doss about, maybe get out of bed on one or even two of those days....but otherwise just hang around doing as little as possible.

Glaucus · 13 May 2012 at 23:06

Amount of shifts I've be doing recently, not a lot at all. Sleep in, doss around all day then pub/pub quizz/cinema in evening.
Maybe go away for two nights and do some walking/climb a mountain and hit the pub afterwards.

Get in the car and drive to Doubtful Sound.

I'm inbetween jobs the week after and I expect to do absolutely nothing. When else do you get to do that?

G-MAN2004 · 13 May 2012 at 23:08

Listen to some ****ing awesome music.

Spend all week changing your appearance so that when you show up for your new job you look nothin like the person they interviewed . When confusion arrises pretend you've alway looked that way and get your foot on the first rung of the making management mentally Ill ladder.

I quite like ''andy'''s idea... however, I'd probably just tidy up the house, make sure my stuff was organised and everything

Doss about, probably, in between getting stuff done that needs done.

For me, being new in a job invariably means saying yes to everything, doing extra bits, and thinking constantly about work when I'm not there, which isn't really conductive to proper relaxing, so I'd probably try and save a bit up before I started.

Edit: upon reading your OP properly, it seems I would do what you would do.

So well done. Good choice.

pingwing · 13 May 2012 at 23:28

Write a post war era romantic sci fi thriller in syrian calligraphy.

Build a fusion reactor.

StoutMeister · 13 May 2012 at 23:33

Watch anime, dress in your wife's clothing and post on Reddit whilst using webcam. Fun and mirth guaranteed.
The follow up will take up a lot more of your time, so maybe not a good idea, but...

Throrik · 13 May 2012 at 23:34

Fap in every room.

Jolteh · 13 May 2012 at 23:58

I'd probably spend the entire week playing Diablo 3.

Zefan · 14 May 2012 at 00:01

I would create threads on here with an angry face in the title.
