Vacation
Decided to take a few days off from work. It works out well. My mother is going to Florida for two weeks, to visit my sister, so I’ll have the house to myself! Yipee. Kind of. It would be nicer if I had someone to spend this free time with. But oh well, life isn’t always rainbows and lollipops, is it?
While she’s gone, I can some work done around the house that I normally won’t do when she’s here, like some electrical work. She gets all nervous and jerky when I do stuff like that, so I tend to wait till she’s not around. Maybe use the pressure steamer to really clean up the bathroom fixtures and work some of my projects I’ve not-quite forgotten about. Or perhaps I’ll just sit around and mope. See what fun the life of a single man is?
Anyways, I have “use or lose” vacation at work. Some of you are probably familiar with that type of vacation time. You get a set amount of time each year. If you don’t use it, you can carry some, but not all of it, over to the next year. But if you have leftover time that you can’t carry over, it just goes away and you lose it. So it’s better to just take the time, even if you don’t have any plans. I still have plenty of vacation this year, so if I ever do decide to go somewhere, I can. There are any number of places I’d like to go, so *shrug*.
