In Ontario, it's a long weekend. Civic Holiday long weekend to be exact. I'm not exactly sure what the significance of the day is, but any excuse for a long weekend, I'll accept.
Some people have chosen to go cottaging. For those of you not familiar with the practice, cottaging involves sitting in traffic on the highway for literally hours, cursing the slowness and heat of the highway. Eventually, you reach your destination: cottage. This is generally on a river or lake. In the case of my family, on an island. The weekend generally consists of lying on the beach, frolicking in the water, barbecueing and staying hydrated with whatever beverage you choose. It is a time to escape the concrete jungle, as downtown is sometimes referred. To enjoy time with friends and family and to generally relax.
Since I don't have a formal office job this summer, every weekend is an excuse to cottage... except this weekend, alas. I have spent the day analyzing content reports from Google Analytics for my digital strategy project (consulting work). While I'm not baking in the sun, I have been making significant progress. But the sunshine is calling and I am only steps from the Toronto Beach. How can I keep working when I know that the beach awaits?
