Vacation

As of today I earn 10 hours of vacation each month (has been that way for about 7 years) and have about 360 hours of vacation available to use. My fine corporation, in it's desire to force a work-life balance in it's employees, has decided that they will start to limit how much vacation time you can actually save in the bank, and when you reach that amount, you will stop earning vacation time until you take some to go below that mark. So I have decided that I need to burn some of that time, as well as work on some items in our yard or on our house. In that vein, I am taking all of next week off of work, and working on items on a prioritized list, alongside Linda, even to the point of planning which items to work on which day. Then on Thursday, we are going camping, so I'll get a little rest then. I guess where I was headed with this post, it that I thought vacations were supposed to be restful, fun, exciting, or something like that, but no rest for us on this one. Oh well, it's got to get done, we have a wedding reception to host in two months. :-)
