Okay, so normally I’m all about 4-day work weeks, because the week goes by super fast. Except that’s not really the case when you had the week before off due to snow. Now being at work at all just seems to drag and drag and drag. So it’s finally Friday and after missing some VERY important Olympic coverage to have a social life, I’m excited to change all of that this weekend. And since I’m guessing most people are going to pick a social life over the Olympics this weekend, here’s what you can read while you’re hungover and trying to muster up the strength to go get brunch.
