Time of year
It’s that time of year that people take up their vacation days at work and go do something that during the year they do so little namely doing the so called nothing else then just relax and enjoyment.
At my workplace it means it gets quieter and silent. We are only with seven people where i work. Well six actually since our chief, commander, director, is already six month in six leave.
So if somebody of the other six goes away for a few weeks its directly noticed by the rest. The first one will go on vacation (directly for a month) this coming friday. In the midsts of his vacation another one leaves for two weeks which makes only four of us will be left to run the place.
Well actually two since two of the four are our handyman and our cleaning lady (who works half time). So lots of work will fall on my little shoulders. Lets hope i can carry the shitload. Luckily i can see forward to my three weeks of vacation in a month and half from now otherwise i think i will not survive the next couple of weeks.
One cannot else then envy teachers who have two months of summervacation and during the school year something like two months of vacation aswell. Actually, i think when it comes at vacation the school teachers together with the politicians are the ones with the most holidays and vacation.
Oke, one must admit that school teachers do a whole lot more then politicians so its kinda not fair that politicians get so much holidays, certainly not since the politicians are also the most overpayed people i know.
But anyway, i wish you all a happy vacation with lots of sun and many enjoyable moments.

I have to admit, I really do love not working during the summer. I do wish it were actually “vacation” time though. It’s not – it’s unpaid time off. We’re only paid for nine months of the year. As much as I love summers, I would LOVE to actually have a paid vacation. LOL I don’t even know what that’s like!
I hope you survive the time until you are off. That sounds like it will be a grueling schedule.
Heh! I think all holidays are good holidays – except for when you are out of work and need some cash. Even then, the sleeping in is still pretty good!
Heh, I always work through summer. No point going away on vacation when the weather is warm for once. And I like the half-empty office. Much calmer than usual.
Great to see you blogging again Logis – thanks for commenting on my recent trauma! I’m feeling better now though I’m going to the doc tomorrow just to double check I’m ok !
