Thats what I like about my work cycle, 6 days on then 6 days off. Rarely a problem getting things done.

I work alternating four-day and six-day work weeks: Monday through Saturday; off Sunday; Monday through Thursday; off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I've done that for so long that I wonder what people who don't have a weekday off do. Among other things, that Friday off is the day I go to the CBS, so I always get two weeks' worth. I also always pick up some Archie comics for my mom. She loves Archie.

"Shanty" is one of those words which really sounds like it out to be something naughty... but isn't.

Only the most famous Newfoundland folk song ever... Deddy can explain better when he gets here. Pretty sad kitchen party without Deddy, since he's bringin the Screech.

Folk music in general is one of those things I respect more than actually listen to. But that's just my opinion.
And hopefully, next time I won't be feeling so lazy and I'll actually post the picture of the bunny with the pancake on its head.

The only shanty I remember is the one about accountancy. I was sort of accountant-like there for a year or so, back when I was still a "permanent" employee.

Years ago, when I lived in Boston, I frequented a piano bar, now long-since closed. There was a man who used to go there who was possibly the ugliest man I've ever seen and who had a voice that sounded vaguely like Jimmy Durante's. Somehow, he managed to get the pianists to let him sing solos regularly. One of his regular songs was "In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town".
