The Owings Family

Mostly musings about my family with some religious and law-related postings here and there.

How do you want to spend your holiday weekend?

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Today, I received an email that made me laugh out loud at my desk. Here's the first two sentences:

Do you want to stay at home during the holiday weekend and still be productive?
Try signing up for Online CLE and get that end of the year CLE credit out of the
way. . . .


What normal person is concerned about being productive during a holiday weekend? I understand that if you're a student and have exams to prepare for or projects due, then you need to be productive. However, if you're a normal non-student, then you probably need an actual holiday, an escape from work. At the end of Thanksgiving Day, who feels guilty about being "unproductive"? Perhaps some workaholic attorneys do, but not me. I am not at all concerned about being productive this holiday weekend. The only things that I really need to accomplish are spending time with my family and getting some rest.

By the way, in case you were wondering what CLE stood for, it's "continuing legal education." I have to have 15 hours of CLE every year to keep my license to practice law.
