December 18th
いつもこの時期、第１土曜日と第三土曜日は出勤の日が多いけど今年のカレンダーでは第一土曜日以外はすべて土曜日も休みになっていた。（１年単位の変形労働制のため、毎年休日が変動する）
週末といってもどこかに特別に出かけることはなく、基本終日を家で過ごします。
掃除したり、片づけをしたり。
先週は本棚を断捨離して新しく仲間入りしたトラベル用グッズなどの保管スペースを作ったり。
先週末にメジャーな断捨離をしたので、今週は天気の悪さもあってか終始のんびりモード。
昨日は午前中に掃除と買い出しをした後はずーっと最近お気に入りの社畜OLちえ丸さんの動画を観ていた。
何がきっかけで彼女の動画にたどり着いたのかをもう覚えていないけれど、なんかハマってしまってずっと毎日観てる。
毎日激務なのにそれでもきちんと自炊したり、ひたむきに頑張っている姿に（彼女は私よりずいぶん年下だけれど）感銘を受ける。
ほんとは英語の勉強とかもしなくちゃいけないんだろうけど、今日もちえ丸さんの動画を観て１日が終わろうとしている。
ま、いっか。昨日ちょっと仕事して決算処理をほぼ片づけたし。
あとは明日の朝イチで社長の承認が得られれば決算仕訳もほぼ完了。先が見えてきた。
年末の帰省を控えて正直ちょっと気が重い部分はあるけど、昨日想定外で彼とオンラインチャットできてうれしかった。
あーあ、のんびりの週末も終わっちゃうな。
残りの時間も楽しもうっと。
I usually work on the first and the third Saturdays of each month at this time of year, but to my great surprise, our company calendar allowed me to enjoy two-day weekends except for the first Saturday this month.
It's not like I would do anything special on the weekends, though.
I normally spend the entire weekends at home, doing chores such as cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, and so forth.
As I did major decluttering last week, disposing of around 100 books and making room for my newly-added travel goods, I decided to chill out this weekend.
Apart from my routine cleanup, I ended up spending most of the time watching one of my recent favorite YouTubers videos back to back.
I don't even remember how I stumbled upon her videos, but I find her videos quite addictive and have been watching like crazy since then.
I even find her videos quite inspiring and motivational watching her trying and struggling to get better at her job as a sales representative.
My working environment and my job responsibilities are of course quite different from hers, but watching her videos always gives me motivation toward my work.
Before I knew it, it's already past 4 p.m... once again, I spent almost the entire day watching her videos when I probably should have brushed up my English skills.
Oh well, sometimes one needs to just chill out.
I did get some work done yesterday, and all I need to proceed is the green light from my boss, which I hope to get the first thing tomorrow so I can move forward with the final stretch.
It was also nice that I unexpectedly got to Skype chat with my partner who is always busy; his planned year-end party got canceled at the last minute.
Overall, it was a nice weekend.
Ugh.
I hate Sunday late afternoons, especially seeing the sun go down, highlighting the fact that my weekend is almost over.
I'd better make the most of the time left!
