Unlike the rest of you, I don't get my weekends off. It can be my most intense time in the week.
But, with the weekend looming, what plans do you have? And, as this must be sl-related, what plans do you have for your secondlife?
And for those of you conflicted and torn, do you change your real plans - a soccer match, sunday din-dins with the family, a pub-crawl, visitation rights, polishing and waxing the family car, etc. - to fall in with your plans for sl?
And, what does this tell you about your life in general? After all, a weekend is really a microcosm of your quality time in general, innit?

No, I don't change RL to accomodate SL. RL always takes precedent.

We don't work weekends? Pep (Says who?) Well, you usually tell us you're watching cricket or rugger or your bellowing at the kids to go outside so you can catch up on the Sunday papers. (I bet you're a "Guardian man"  . They can hear you down the road when you yell at them to stop jumping on the sofa._____________________

that totally depends on what is going on where...
I mean I wouldn't withdraw from the J-Classic finals (if i were to compete) because love boat is on... On the other hand I wouldn't cancel a dinner with RL friends for a "best in green" in a SL club. |

Self employed, working from home and with a huge deadline on Monday night, I am going to be working stupid hours all weekend (even stupider hours if I don't stop nosing at these forums). This is a fairly common pattern for me and I don't really differentiate between the weekend and the rest of the week. Even when I am not "working", I am working ... laundry, cleaning, groceries, cooking ... none of it does itself. The most restful time of the week for me is 8.30 on Monday morning, when they have all gone to work and school and I can listen to Radio 4 in the bath and recharge my batteries for the week ahead. If I make it inworld this weekend it will be very late at night when my brain is too tired to do proper work anymore.

Pep (The Guardian isn't a Sunday paper; and it is pinko, anyway!) You are being Pedantic again. Okay Times, then. I prefer the Express on Sundays - if I am not in UK I get it on the web. I also listen to Gardener's World when I can and Any Questions? I am at heart a country girl with a leaning towards intellectual. Gardens and books. And a beach. A super house ... art ... clothes ... But now I have real commitments and must sign off. _____________________

Saturday Guardian, when I get time, lasts me 'til about Wednesday. It's also part of my fitness regime lugging it home from the shop.

Pep (The Guardian isn't a Sunday paper; and it is pinko, anyway!) Pep, what's your address? I need to arrange for the delivery of your copy of The Observer on Sunday. (Read it carefully; there will be a quiz.) _____________________

It's almost the weekend already?
That's the trouble with not working for anyone else ~ if you go into the office nearly every day of the week but skip when you feel like it, those pesky calendar day names like "Tuesday" all sort of blur together... _____________________

Guilty of both; Mostly, RL comes first. But if I know far enough in advance, have been known to juggle rl plans for SL. Especially SL doings that I dont' have control over. This weekend is Labor Day holiday weekend here in the USA; I've got RL family plans that I've had for a long time, for Saturday and Sunday. But Monday, the actual holiday, I'll be done with those, and in SL, so the 3-day weekend will be split time for me. Both are important to me!

RL is way more important than SL in regards to planning. Now, my husband is a very understanding sort and helps me remember to NOT plan RL things during events I find important, like the Relay for Life. So, I was able to at least go to it one day this year... silly RL.

No thanks. Pep (I used to read The Sunday Times but it stopped being a NEWS paper so now I read www.bbc.co.uk ) Hey! That's what I read! See, we have tons in common. We even read the same thing and listen to the same programs. Awwww, all those miles apart - you, in Milton Keynes and me in some city or other (or on a road to nowhere) - and yet we read the same columns of news and listen to Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1, or whatsisface Bumblebee on BBC4! It makes me go all wobbly: "ho hastam hestoz na no me" ("there is a powerful trembling around me" - Cheyenne) _____________________
