A day off…what a tease
I have decided I need a very long vacation. The kind of vacation I was given when I was 11 years old and not yet babysitting…an entire summer off. Although I don’t want my vacation in the summer I want September and October off. I can’t really remember what it was like to have that kind of time off but I have a feeling it was fantastic. I must have slept late, watched lots of TV and ate ice cream.
Obviously Americans work too much, that we already know, and living in NY state it seems NYers work too much as well. So basically I have set myself up to work too hard and need to move to Europe. Hmmm…..
Yesterday was Columbus day which translated into a day off for many Americans. I say having one day off is not enough - it is just a tease really. You can’t truly relax in one day, you need several days to really decompress. I think we need Columbus week next year. Now that I think of it perhaps we can petition for President’s week and Veteran’s week off also. A single day to celebrate these things is not enough! Plus I could really use a chance to sleep late and watch some TV.

I took all of the summer off in 2007 and it was fabulous. I spent part of it travelling the world (Dubai, Africa, Carribean, South America) and part of it just hanging out. I highly recommend not working!

Sounds like heaven. Working really is no fun!

My problem is that I’m always so tired when I do have to go back to work. I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.
