大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【周末的打算】。
上个周末中国的公司都要上班，因为中秋节和国庆节放了8天假。一般如果有一周左右的长假，那么前面或者后面的周末需要上班，这个做法叫做“调休”。所以实际上8天的长假有4天是周末，只有4天是真正的假期。我经常跟学生说：“好羡慕你们啊，有那么多假期。中国的假期估计是全世界最少的。”
我的朋友们上个星期六开始上班，要上到这周五，连续上7天班。网友开玩笑说：“如果你觉得放假8天时间过得很快，那么很快你就知道7天有多慢了。”我自己是自由职业，所以我的工作时间跟大家不太一样。我是有时候工作有时候休息，没有很长的假期，所以也没有假期综合症。记得以前在公司上班的时候，长假过后回去上班的第一天，经常很不适应，一直跟同事开玩笑说：“我已经忘了我是做什么工作的了。”我更喜欢现在的工作方式，没有假期综合症的烦恼。
这个周末我打算和朋友一起去广州的老城区逛一逛，打卡一些美食店。广州是一座美食之都，有句俗语叫“食在广州”，说明广州美食很多，广州人也很懂美食。在广州你可以吃到全国各地，甚至是全世界各地的美食。我在云南生活半年后回到广州，最想念的是早茶。和朋友们一起喝茶、吃点心，从早上吃到下午，谈天说地，真的很开心。
你这个周末有什么打算呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
