I love the rump week of Thanksgiving. When I worked in-house, the routine was usually: drink coffee all morning, shoot the breeze, take long lunches, then leave early on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday we'd have a half-day.
My other fav is the week between Christmas and New Years. At Warner Bros. Jean MacCurdy usually gave us the time off with pay.
I notice that my two happiest weeks involved jobs with ritualized social routines but little actual labor.
That could explain much.

I wonder why jobs like that are so rare? I suppose all the people who support them aren't working hard enough to put them out there...... wait.... paradox?
A lot of government jobs are like that since they don't have to sweat the profit margin.
They have us.
