How much would you PAY for a free weekend?

Here's the dilemma. You've been pulling 16 hour days for the last 2 months without a break, you know that the advisory mandate youre working on isn't going to turn into a deal so no sweet tombstone and no ability to say it was worth it. There is no prospect for things getting better, and your associate / VP combination are thicker than Dumb and Dumberer.

How much would you PAY for a free weekend?

I'd probably pay five hundred bucks... a little more or less depending on my level of exhaustion, what point of the year it is, and how much money's in the bank.

Anybody else?

 

for a completely free weekend, (which i could plan ahead for), without the crackberry and without getting fucked the following week for not working the weekend, i'd pony up 750 bucks.

 

Yeah, it's the planning ahead that counts. I'd probably go well over my previously-stated $500 if I could make solid plans and ditch the evil vibrating bastard.
