Step 1
Have a good old-fashioned last fling. Take yourself, your family and friends to your town's parade. Then go home, or to your favorite park, and stage the biggest, best barbecue of the summer.
-
Step 2
Sit down after your fling and give some thought to labor - especially yours.
-
Step 3
Start doing something about that career change you've been pondering. Schedule some informational interviews, or sign up for a class in your chosen endeavor.
-
Step 4
Find some direction if your thoughts are still vague. Make an appointment with a counselor, organize a brainstorming session with like-minded friends, or just gather up a few good books on fields that interest you.
-
Step 5
Take some time to appreciate your work if you enjoy what you do, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
-
Step 6
Go out and find yourself a hobby if you think you like your work a little too much. Look for balance. And remember the words on one Mathew Maguire banner: "Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for Recreation!"

on 11/22/2005 I think you're all missing the point. Labor day is about labor unions. Labor, as in labor vs. management. Though the unions have had a somewhat deservedly bad reputation during our lifetimes, they are largely responsible for the safety and benefits we all enjoy in the workplace today. Think Woody Guthrie and all he fought for on Labor Day.
