workweek creep 

1) Constant connectivity via your smartphone and computer blurs the boundaries between your work life and your personal life.

2) Constant connectivity at work via e-mail & chat, results in so many interruptions that you cannot get blocks of time to do any thinking, resulting in you catching up on your work at home on nights and weekends.
This is the third e-mail from my boss this weekend. I'm a victim of workweek creep!

Wichita Workweek 

The practice of electrical line workers from Wichita, Kansas reporting in sick during their normal work week then agreeing to work overtime for extra pay on the weekend. The end result was a full week’s pay for being sick plus two shifts of premium overtime. A man could work two days and get eight days of pay under this arrangement.
Jason was sick all week then worked both shifts on Saturday and Sunday. That’s what we call a ‘Wichita Workweek.’

French workweek 

n. Somewhere in the vicinity of 30 hours over 4 days in a given period between Monday and Friday, excluding, of course, the period between June 1 and and August 31 where they're all on strike for some non-reason or another.
Jack (on a Thursday at about 3:00PM): Well, I put in a solid French workweek so now I'm going to drink a bottle of wine, eat some cheese, and smoke a pack of cigarettes with my steak and fries. If only I had a stupid hat and smelled bad I could truly be French!

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
