I have been on vacation for the last 17 days, and at 05:30 I will be up and getting ready for my 1st day back at work. Lord God I wish I was independently wealthy.



Good night.

I am starting to feel that melancholy myself. I have been off for 7 of the last ten days, and am off tomorrow, then it is back to the grind. I think this is why I don't take time off much, going back to work after time off is worse than never being off.

I have 60+ days of leave to use up this spring. Over two months, that I can't sell back. And since I have a Federal fulltime job, I can't go back to work while on .mil leave.

Yep, I did my best to forget every mother fucker in this place while I was gone. Now I'm at work and I remember why I worked to forget these low lives. Only thing different is the date.

I spent the whole 17 days purging my house of all the useless junk, and packing up what I felt should be kept but out of the way. I still have more to do, but it gave me a good feeling, like I was freer without the junk in my way. I could go a few months on vacation real easy.

And work never seems to go by at the same speed. Why is that?

Maybe because when were at vacation we do things at our own pace. At work it's tick tock tick tock tick tock. I work 12 hr shifts with no real breaks. At home I can work till I decide I've had enough and do as I please till I decide to do something productive.



If I do this purging and readying for long enough, by the time I am done, I will be all ready to move to Alaska without hindrance.
