Why do we expect things to be open monday to friday, nine till five? And the answer is history, isn't it really? It all comes back to preparing us for the world of wor for mills. I mean, i think for universities, since i work at a university, it could deftly move to a four day work week. But again, it's, it's historically contingent on the fact that we have a five day system of education.
Is it time to abandon the five-day work week? Or is the "five-days on, two days off" cadence of work and rest more important than ever?
