Short Weekend

Why do people say "the weekend was too short" like in the past they experienced some really long weekend where they were like "dang, it's only Saturday? This is the longest weekend ever!" Please. Every weekend goes by "fast" because as soon as Friday night rolls around, we are already thinking about how we have to dredge back to work on Monday. Nope. I will never understand the "short weekend" comment. Same for holidays...but I must say, this past weekend went by pretty quickly :)
