The Weekend Belongs to Someone

“It’s my weekend!” You’ll hear people say, sometimes with enthusiasm, sometimes in a sigh of exhaustion. But who is to say that it’s "their" weekend? And that’s not to say that Saturday and Sunday are always their weekend days. In fact, the days that are often part of someone’s weekend are part of the weekdays.

So tell me, when you say that it’s "your weekend", do you mean to tell me that those two days belong to you? I ask this only because I’ve heard many others say the same about different days of the week (some of them fortunate enough to have a weekend land on Saturday and Sunday).

If each working individual does have two days to themselves that they call their own, I suppose you can say that a weekend can belong to someone, rather than a certain time of the week that everyone shares.

I must say I feel sorry for those that work during your weekend. As you kick back and relax from your laborious week, someone else in the world is saying to themselves, “Today is my Monday”, as they begin a laborious week of their own.
