Fridays

It’s Colin’s first Halloween and it’s been a ton of fun for Sophia and I. We dressed him up as a piece of sushi and he’s incredibly cute today. It was a joy dropping him off at daycare with the other babies all dressed up. I’ve never been a huge Halloween guy but I’m loving it as a Father.

On another note, it’s a quiet Halloween Friday in the office where I am maybe one out of five people in the entire coworking space. I do find it interesting just how normal work from home on Fridays has become. I know it’s Halloween and whatnot, but the norm has really become to work from home on Fridays nowadays.

Not that long ago we had companies giving perks like Summer Fridays and work from home on Fridays during non-busy times. My old firm would let us work from home in the off months on Fridays and it was always a treat. I am generally a fan of the trend, but I do find it interesting that Fridays have just become effectively a half day for most people.

I’ve started coming into the office on Fridays myself to try to be as productive as I can with the hopes that I can log off early and enjoy some time before I have to pick-up Colin from daycare and be a Dad all weekend.

At the office especially when it’s quiet, I have all the time to myself to really sit down and grind out work. I’ll usually treat myself to a nice lunch in the city somewhere and then wrap up from a new spot like a coffee shop to enjoy Manhattan.
