I’m a crazy woman desperate for a vacation. I found out today that my department is going to have to start working six days a week now (BOO!), so that news nearly put me over the edge.
Vacation.
I need to take a vacation!
Everyone around me needs me to take a vacation!
If I don’t take a vacation soon I just might go crazy! Here are a few things that have made me realize how badly I need to leave:
1.I’ve been trying to find a way to download this as my ringtone
2.I forgot milk for my cereal this morning and was forced to use a Starbucks Frappucino- and loved it. The whole time I ate I was thinking to myself that cereal mixed with coffee will help take the sting out of the day. Uh- by the way- it didn’t work.
3.I’ve already got my Out of Office message ready to post. Is it bad to say, “See Ya Suckers!!!!!!! Ahahahahaha!” in a professional away message? (Theresa, at least I didn’t use one of the ones you sent me!)
4.I’ve seriously considered sending my resume to friends back home to post on bulletin boards, church newsletters, school newspapers, Craigslist, Lost and Found boards, and just about anything else you can imagine.
5.I find myself constantly making a mental list of all the places I’d rather be than at work: the dentist, Wal-mart on payday and/or Christmas Eve, jury duty… the list goes on and on.
6.I have an alarm on my phone that sounds like a baby crying. It goes off at the time I start work each morning.
Guys, I seriously need to get out of here for a while. The worst part of all is that I’ve become such a pessimist lately that I’m already dreading the thought of having to come back in January! <- Tell me I’m utterly ridiculous for being that way.
The countdown continues. If only I could speed up time (and then slow it down while we’re home!).
More to come…

6 days a week? What kind of sweatshop are you working in? Make sure you make it known that YOUR policy is to only bathe 4 days a week, so they better watch out come day 6!
