Longer weekend or short week?
I enjoy holiday weekends but I’m not sure if i enjoy them more than a short week. They both have their benefits. You get an extra day to travel or relax with an extended weekend. The advantage of a short week is that….well… it’s a short week which also ends up being a disadvantage. When there’s a Monday off, Tuesdays normally become hectic as you have two days worth of work to do. People tend to overload work Monday through Thursday when we have Fridays off.
Would you rather have a long weekend or a short week?
Just in case you didn't know………..

How to Spot a Liar
A couple of days ago, I facilitated a warm up about super heroes. I asked, “If you could have a super power, what would be?” I got the traditional responses of flight, super speed and invisibility. Some one else stated that they would like to spot truth and lies with 100% certainty. I instantly thought of Lie to Me, one of my favorite TV shows.
Lie to Me, while based on research by Dr. Paul Ekman, is a fictional account of the Lightman group and their attempts to tell whether people are lying. Using micro expressions and other indicators, Dr. Lightman and his associates go around saving the day spotting one lie at a time.
