Anyone picking the Kentucky Derby winner. Don’t pick my horse as I haven’t been right in 10 years.

Working from home much of the time allows me to get a lot of stuff done at home during the week which means my weekends aren't inundated with chores/etc.

This. I'm glad my company isn't pulling the RTO bullshite that a lot of companies are.

It will mean I have to do them all tomorrow lol

General question for everyone - assuming you get two days off a week, do you get everything you need to do done on the first day or relax and do it all on the second? Or just do a little each day?

I do as much as possible on the first day, which is never enough time for the whole list. I usually end up with half the second day to relax. During heavy yardwork times (spring and fall mostly), I need a third day off.

Same here. We're at most 2 days a week in the office. Saves so much time and hassle.

Yep, I'm at 2 in-office days and could technically drop down to 1 if I wanted, but it's easier to get some errands done when I'm in the office because of location.

For the Kentucky Derby - can I just bet that all the horses have a good time?

If not, I'll take Commandment.

Man it'd be a bummer if you lost because one of the horses was kinda bummed afterwards

I do everything I need to do usually on one day so I have a free day to myself. Other than my laundry which is a Sunday chore but that’s a bit of put it in and wait for to wash or dry.

Mowing and beers and nap. Now Margs. Nothing like getting drunk twice a day.

I know nothing about the Kentucky Derby, but rooting for Danon Bourbon, simply because it has bourbon in the name.

I work 48 hours on 96 off, so my week is different week to week. But generally speaking I ideally try to get as much done as I can on day one of my four days off so that hopefully by time I'm on day four I can spend as much of it as I can with my family before going back to work. But more often than not it doesn't workout that way and it's just bouncing back and forth between getting things done, running kids to appointments and sports and just spending time with them.

I like this policy.

Do I need new cheerleader uniforms or will the old ones do??
Either way I’ll be there shaking my… pompoms

See I know nothing about it either but I’m rooting for Emerging Market simply because it’s the only horse not pedigreed from Secretariat and I like the outlier

I'll be at the finish line with Warpaint on. You got this!

This is the kind of analysis I came here for
Also *swoon*

Alright, so very few of us know anything about the derby… but where is our data sheet people who is collecting the picks and creating a spread sheet? Also… when is the derby?

You got this! Have fun!!

And what does the closest winner win… if anything?
