With another long holiday weekend upon us, it begs the question: Can we do this again sometime soon? The four-day work week has been a dream of the American worker for decades now, but one that has always seemed out of reach until the pandemic changed the way we all look at work hours. A recent Reddit poll asked people if they were to switch to a four-day work week, which extra day would they like to have off? Not surprisingly, most people wanted a three-day weekend. 47% of people said they’d like to have Friday off, and 27% want Monday off. Clearly the three-day weekend is in as much demand as the four-day work week.

Over a decade ago, I resigned from my corporate career to support my family. Two of my three children have disabilities and I needed to focus on them. Staying home full time was the right choice for me, but it wasn’t a place I thought I would ever be. When I quit, I thought back to one afternoon, when I’d been reviewing employee applications with a colleague. One resume stood out from the pile, from a woman who’d been out of the workforce for a while, presumably because she’d been a stay-at-home mom. “She’s too far behind,” my colleague said and shook her head. “We don’t hire people who took a long break from work.” I cringed and swore that would never be me. But somehow, there I was. Resigning from my job felt like I was losing a part of myself.

"Baby why you gotta be so mean?" The zodiac is a fascinating system that many people turn to for insights into personality traits, behaviors, and compatibility. While every zodiac sign has its unique strengths and challenges, some signs are often perceived as being a bit more sharp-edged, vindictive or difficult (to say the least) to deal with. In this article, we'll delve into the four zodiac signs commonly considered the "meanest," exploring the characteristics that contribute to this perception and how these traits manifest in their interactions with others. To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.
