A thread about weekends during the #MAB.
I am contracted for 35 hours a week, with the expectation that when needed, I will work more than that, in exchange for time off in lieu at another point. (Sometimes deadlines clump and you have to work extra.)
I normally work my 35 hours spread across 5 week days. I stopped working on weekends about a decade ago, when I had a young child and realised it just wasn't feasible. I'd reach the end of a weekend despondent, frustrated, and exhausted, because I tried to work AND be a mom.

Huh. Somewhat surprised that in the list of people Roger Bacon approves of (in ch. 28) William of Sherwood is omitted. Bacon said he was "much wiser than Albert [the Great]; for in *philosophia communis* no one is greater than he". High praise indeed.
Oooh, a portion of this chapter focuses on Bacon's semiotics. In the @ArchePhilosophy / @StAndrewsPhil medieval logic reading group we're currently working our way through his De Signis, which has proven to be a v. interesting text.

Settling in cosily to read this book so I can write a review of it. It's gonna be good fun, I can tell -- one paragraph into the preface and I've already shouted at the page three times. 😀
"contemporary philosophy of religion is basically just like studying medieval philosophy, except not as interesting and you don't have to learn Latin" (p. 6).
