It is 7 o´clock friday morning. Lena is reading the newspaper in her small apartment in Kristineberg while having breakfast. She is in good spirits since it´s almost weekend and she feels like she could really need to take her mind of work for a while and this weekend is one where she doesn´t have any plans at all. In the newspaper she sees an advertisement for the latest exhibition at Naturhistoriska riksmuseet. It reminds her that it has been quite a long time since she last visited a museum. She reflects upon this for a while. She remembers that she used to go a lot to museums when she was younger and she has always had an interest for culture. She points out to herself that it must be because of how hard she has been working the past few years. A thought comes to her mind that maybe it is time for her to make her comeback as a museum visitor. She arguments with herself that she doesn’t have any plans and maybe a visit to the museum would be a nice and relaxing way for her to get her mind off work.
She is awakened from her daydream by the phone ringing. She answers her phone and hears the voice of her manager. She can tell right away by the tone of the managers voice that this won´t be good news. Just as she predicted her manager apologetically asks her to come in and work on saturday.
She puts down the phone, sighs and realizes that her weekend just became 50% shorter. She glances down at the ad for Naturhistoriska riksmuseet and knows that the only time she will have a chance to go there this weekend will be on sunday. But the extra workday has completely ruined her mood and she decides that sunday will be a day where she stays at home and watches a whole season of the big bang theory and eats ice cream.
