Among its more heralded positives, one of the things I love most about Thanksgiving is that it’s always on a Thursday. While other holidays fall on different days of the week each year, many of us can always count on a short work week. Even better, many bosses/clients/coworkers take advantage of the already truncated week to take more time off. Believe it or not, I also enjoy the way baseball’s offseason typically grinds nearly to a halt, which allows me to relax without feeling beholden to the call of the content mines.
I’m not sure those are part of the curriculum at Colorado School of Mines, which I just got an email from as I’m typing this.
