Who's got a long weekend ahead? You do! Get your prep on in this week's open thread.
Same drill as always, open-threaders: You can chat and ask questions with your fellow readers all week long at the #openthread hashtag page, but our weekly open thread post is your opportunity to reach the most people. Ask questions, offer advice, discuss productivity tips, or just chat about whatever's on your mind. You'll need a commenter account to participate, then you're ready to roll.
An extra reminder: If you're not quite satisfied with the interaction in the weekly open thread or in #tips, remember that you can also share your expertise every day on our Expert Pages. Photo by Extra Zebra.
Also, as an added bonus:
Long week? Take a quick breather in this week's open thread. 
Are you a card-carrying comment lurker? That's cool, we love lurkers! But if you're interested in dipping your toe in the commenting pool, this week's open thread is the perfect place to start. 
It's that time of week again. Grab your coffee and pastry-of-choice and step inside: This week's open thread starts now.
