Today marks 6 months at my current job. I celebrated this by baking cookies for my workmates; I was hoping this would bribe them into celebrating along with me, but really they were just cheering about the cookies. They even admitted it. At least they’re honest.
I did manage to guilt someone into a ride home, though. Score.
I leave for a short vacation to Maui a week tomorrow. I think I’m supposed to be excited, but I’m not. Last week’s 70 hours of work* ruined all remaining enthusiasm for anything, ever again. I got a facial and a pedicure at the spa on Saturday in hopes of recovering some mental stability, but no. I don’t even want to go, now.
I looked into cancelling my trip. The insurance does say I can get my money back if I’m fired from a job where I’ve worked for at least 6 months. So I’ve got that out. Less dangerous than an “unforeseen illness”, though I could do with a coma.
Oh, I’m going on the trip, unless some database-related disaster happens chez Employer, which seems unlikely. But people have been asking me today if I’m excited and I’m disappointed to say I’m not.
I did have a dream about the trip the other day. In it there was a big tsunami and I needed to quickly get away from the beach but I ran back into my hotel room, putting my life at risk, to get a camera because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to document the experience. Stress gives me weird dreams. Though I’m still unsure what cameras to bring.
*Normally, I do 40, like most people, though some of that time is spent playing pingpong.
Oh…for the love of Pete GG.
You’ll have a good time in Maui.
Just find a great beach and stay there.
Most beaches you can even drink beer or wine while you read and no one says mum. Don’t forget to rent snorkel gear – it’s cheap and worth every cent.
I’ll be in Maui in 5 weeks! I also get a case of the blahs before going. But once you’re there it’s hard to be down – it’s just too damn relaxing.
Which side of the island are you staying at? Resort or condo or…?
Shebang will love it
All cats love to go surfing
Hang twenty, furball!
Take care on Maui
Pack your thirty spf
Nude beaches abound.
Don’t cancel on Maui. You will have fun once you get there if you decide you will have fun. Lay on the beach, swim in the water and hike through the jungle. You will have a great time.
