Winding Down

Streyken · 18th November 2007, 03:38 PM

Well, I?ve almost finished my obligations for this year. I?ve put off non-priority work until January and February and am now on the last two weeks before I take off for a much needed one month rest. It?s been four years since I?ve taken a good break. You know you?re getting a bit wound-up when you?re driving and you think I?ve got a maul beside me and if this guy hits me at least I?ll get his name and address.

Dreary and drizzly most of the time now, dark by 5:00pm and this is just the start of our winter; I definitely couldn?t handle living out east. Nice to know though, that if one wanted it, work here is year-round.

What about the rest of you, ya planning on taking some time off, or working straight through?

Take a few weeks off, Christmas to New Year is always quiet.

I get my vacation when I learn how to save some money. Maybe next winter I'll take a break.
