Time-Space Continuum Theory

I have a theory - the ending of a long weekend depends on the structure.

I'll explain: If a long weekend starts on a Friday (as in, Friday is the holiday), and finishes on a Sunday, the perception is that nothing has been gained, and the weekend wasn't long enough, because you end up having to drag yourself back to work on the Monday. It doesn't matter that there was an extra day before the normal weekend - the end of the weekend is just as depressing.

However, if the weekend extends to Monday (as in, Monday is the holiday), the perception is altered - the weekend ends on a high note. You get to go to sleep on Sunday (or Monday morning, depending on your lifestyle) knowing that you don't have to drag yourself out of bed to get to work when you wake up. More fulfilling in my opinion anyway.

Or maybe I'm slightly odd. Take your pick.
