12 Reasons Why Working Saturdays Is The Worst Thing Ever

Most people finish up with work on Friday evenings and head out with major weekend plans. Saturday mornings are always non-existent because they wake up late. But for some of us, there is no such thing. Because we have to go to work on Saturdays as well. While the rest of the world celebrates a well-deserved break, we are stuck in office, working our asses off. Here are 12 reasons why working Saturdays are the worst thing that can happen to anyone:

1. Friday nights don't excite you anymore.

What's the point? You have to wake up early and head to work the next day anyway.

2. No parties on Saturdays either.

Because you're stuck at work, remember?

3. Your friend circle diminishes because you don't socialize enough.

Your friends get pissed off when you tell them you're busy.

4. While the rest of the world is lost in slumber, you feel like a loser getting up early on Saturdays.

Even the maid comes in late on Saturdays.

5. Facebook statuses and photos of friends don't help.

While they are living their lives, you are staring into your computer as always.

6. In the unlikely event that you're free on Saturday, nobody calls you anywhere.

Because everyone assumes that you'd be working.

7. You can't go for weekend trips with friends.

Where could you possibly go for just one day? You'll end up spending more time travelling to and fro than at the place you're going to.

8. Even if you take an off on Friday, you still don't have an extended weekend.

Because Saturday, remember?

9. You have to take an off or a half day if you have to go to the bank...

Unless you're a banker yourself.

10. You're not paid extra for working 52 extra days (Saturdays) in a year.

That's right! You work 52 more days than everybody else. Go kill yourself now!

11. You just have Sunday to finish all the pending household chores.

12. Which technically means you'd be working on Sunday as well.

And so, you feel that you never really have a break.

If you feel your life is bad, just think of all the people in the world who have to work on Saturdays. And in case you are one of them, I feel you bro. I feel you!

How to Encrypt Data on External Drives

It's not hard to lose a USB flash drive; it's even easier to steal one. If you're the victim of such a theft, panic is understandable. There could be work documents, private pictures, your kid's birthday party video, or amazing notes for a NaNoWriMo novel—anything—on that drive. It's unlikely to be the only copy—this is the age of online backup and sync, after all. But if you're crazy enough to trust your most important, irreplaceable data to a device that's even easier to misplace or forget than your keys, at least make sure that data is secure. What you'll need is software for encrypting the data, and that software has to be portable, in that it runs on any PC without installation, since it will likely run from the flash drive itself. Note, these solutions also work with any external hard drive, for the most part, plus your much-harder-to-steal internal hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).
