The Myth of Sisyphus on a Friday night

We are like Sisyphus in our daily lives. We start each week at the bottom of the mountain and we carry our burden at work until we reach the peak on Friday night knowing very well that we are going to have to do this again and again (unless we are fortunate enough to be in one of those European countries where everything shuts down in August and we can postpone the inevitable for a little while).
But are we really like him? As I stand on top of the mountain right now and revel in my victory I start to think that he was more cynical than me and perhaps than many of us. He was never happy because he was always all too aware of his predicament.  I am, on the other hand, perfectly content to live for the moment and ignore what will come in two days. It's Friday night after all! Stay tuned for a follow-up on Monday morning and in the meantime enjoy your weekend :)
