Vacations and holidays are supposed to leave you feeling energized, refreshed and ready to get back to the grind of work. Some people vow to turn over a new leaf and stop bad habits after a trip or time off. And then other's have a renewed sense of patience and a calm zen about them aiding in their ability to work and cooperate more smoothly with their peers.
Well, I just returned not only from the Labor Day holiday weekend, but also a long overdue 10 day vacation ( yay me!) or "staycation" as they call it when you take off of work, but stay home or local instead of traveling. This vacation was overdue because I hadn't taken not one day of my vacation all year. When I realized that I had worked 8 months straight I knew I needed to take a break not only from work, but from the people I work with and the robotic routine I was stuck in. Not to mention, my vacation days do not roll over, so I better had taken some days! Don't be a victim of use it or lose it. Use your days people!
Anyway, hopefully like others returning from the holiday (and end of summer milestone) I did go back to work energized, refreshed and ready to get back to the grind. However, the new leaf I tried to turn over is still on one side as I snoozed my way from 6am to 7am this morning, but I still got to work on time and ready to rock and roll. My alarm is set to 6am again, so wish me luck!
