Quote HistoryQuoted: Man some of you live pretty boring/sad/sheltered lives. I don't think I've ever gone more than 6 months without going somewhere, even if it was only for a couple of nights. This year I've taken about 6 "vacations" ranging from three days to 10 days. its sad, I can spend days ahead of time training people to take my place for the few days I am out, they fuck it up. I still have to log in on vacation because I know they didn't follow my instructions . 9on top of it, I am covering for 2 other guys who got fired. |

When the kids were smaller, every year we took a 3-week vacation - Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Utah, Colorado, East Coast, Florida, etc.
Kids are in their 20s now, but actually WANTED to do a family vacation, so we went to New Orleans and Gulf Shores last year over Christmas/New Years. |

My thing with vacation, is that in my mind it's for recovery.
No better place to recover than just getting to sleep in for a few mornings in my own bed. The problem though, is that if I take a day off, I wake up early anyway and find something to tinker with. Being away from home drives me fucking crazy because I wake up early and my whole routine is off, and there is nothing that needs doing. If we are away somewhere and I get up early I typically either start making breakfast, or do all the dishes, or something. My friend yelled at me one time when we went to visit. I woke up at 5am, emptied his whole garage, repaired his floor and then started to wash his stamped concrete sidewalk because it had been neglected. I was having fun. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When I am out for even 1 day shit falls apart. its sad, I can spend days ahead of time training people to take my place for the few days I am out, they fuck it up.

Sounds like your place needs to either hire better quality employees, or your training is ineffective. |

Leaving for Hawaii for a week tomorrow for my tenth anniversary. I’m a little scared how much it’s going to cost because my wife just said, “Give me a credit card, I need some money.”
When I ask her how much she needs she pulls this number   Goodfellas Money |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I did a 19 year stretch. Same! Then I woke up, got my shit together and have enjoyed many vacations. We have taken two, two week vacations in the last 10 months and a couple 5 day getaways since then. Planning another two week....or slightly longer in the first few months of next year. |

Last May.
I love these guys with their d**k measuring of who has the longest time since taking a vacation. Pro-tip: Unless you own the company or have a major share in it, your dedication to the company will not be returned. You're just a number to HR. When I was working I busted my a** and made sure I did things right. I've worked days off, holidays, overtime, etc. But when it's time for a vacation, I took it. |

Time off = staycation.
Going somewhere other than your home for a period of time = vacation We went to Mt Hood back in Feb of this year for a ski trip. We lived in southwest WA state at the time. |

My life is pretty sweet, so I don't really aspire to vacation. Beside lake trips, SxS trips, visiting Belize, going skiing a few times per year, work boondoggles and family outings I really don't get out much.

I take a lot of them but never really go anywhere other than camping. I've seen pretty much everything in my life and traveled to many countries so now I just enjoy the solitude of remote camping with just my dog.

I'm either going to Idaho or Lareto, MX for my next vacation.
If Republicans win the election, Mexico (traditional vacation). If Democrats win, Idaho (scouting trip to move). |

I basically have to force some of my people to take every hour they have coming to them. Nobody in corporate thinks you’re a hero for leaving time on the table. You don’t get any gold stars, it’s like not taking your entire paycheck. You know the saying “if you die your company will post your position the next day”? I had a great employee die in his sleep last January. 68 years old. A true subject matter expert and great human being. Planning on retiring at 70 but never got the chance. HR called me the next day, “I know this is horrible to ask but when do you want to post his position?” He had a critical role and was damn good at his job so it was a real concern in a competitive industry. I waited until the end of the month. I wasn’t going to be a part of that. |

The wife, kids, and I go to the beach once a year and I go hunting out of state one week a year. Family and I might sneak one more out of state trip but that’s max usually.
