How They Reformed The Working Week In Montenegro

in lazing •  8 years ago 

Montenegrins are known as being very proud. They are also very careful not to work too much.

Some might say that they are plain lazy. No, the Montenegrins argue. We are not lazy. It is a tradition we don't want to break.

During the last rehaul of the legislature they also started a working week reform. The first draft for a working week was as follows:

  • Monday - a rest day after the weekend,
  • Tuesday - preparation for the work day,
  • Wednesday - the work day,
  • Thursday - rest from the work day,
  • Friday - preparation for the weekend.

There were unusually heated debates in the parliament following this proposal. Eventually a wise and respected member of the parliament stood up and posted the following question:

Is every Wednesday a work day?

Better and better!

I can live with that.

:) Wouldn't you get just a bit bored?

I'll find something to do.

Rest day does not have to be laze day.

Practice taiji, take a walk, play some sports, put on my inline skates, watch a movie, perhaps learn to cook, write a post, upvote your post. ;-)
Someone else need to do the dishes.

:) Then you'll have to rest after the rest day.

Omg... "They are also very careful not to work too much."

haha - LMAO 😝

I am a polite guy, after all :)

haha - I nearly fall down my chair :-)

OK, then I have another Montenegrin truth for you:

Do you know what Montenegrin says when he is tired?

"Earth, rise, so I can lay down!"

Haha - yeah too funny that count all for neighbour countries too (where I live) :-)

We always have a lot to say about our neighbours and their habits.

So do they :)

Now that's what I call working full time, brilliant idea but think every Wednesday is unfair

Exactly. Every fourth Wednesday would be enough. Maybe :)

I totally agree, its give and take lol

And where is the sea? In my understanding, Monte Negro or Black Mountain is above all a gentle sea!

Hm, Montenegro is a country on Balkans. Yes, they have some sea. They have more mountains and above all - proud people.
