Another vote for weekends here.  I usually work until 10 or 11pm at night at UPS.  I've made most of the TODs on late Friday eve but its always been a scramble to get home, nuke something to eat and THEN try to relax in front of the 'puter.

Come on, Euros, don't tell me you wanna wake up at 5am to play, do ya?
