Q: A new survey found that 67% of people are looking forward to this, this year more than last year?

A: Summer

Today’s officially the first day of summer.

And a new survey found people are looking forward to the summer.

The survey found 67% of people say they’re looking forward to summer more this year than they have in the past few years.

The top three reasons why are:  It’ll finally give them a chance to hang out with friends and family . . . they’ve worked harder this year than in the past . . . and the weather in spring was worse than usual.

34% of people say they feel guilty about taking time off work during the summer . . . and 40% would be willing to take a pay cut if they could work less over the next few months.
