there's no question it was what I needed - just feelin' so much better in addition to the 'rush' :)
( not that I felt bad, mind you - I just needed the getaway unquestionably, to clear the mind and all that )
since my return to work, I've been training in addition to getting as much as my work done as possible
training someone to take on what I was supposed to take on when I had the spare time - unfortunately, as we realized/discovered, I haven't had the spare time at work since back in March !
kinda weird realizing that my work docket has been booked solid since March, with the only 'breaks' being for the funeral and the vacation...
I alleviated concerns with the GM, though, letting him know that this was the last of my vaca time that I used up and even when it re-sets in late Sept I have no intent on taking time off until next year
( it seemed to help *smirks* )
s'true - I never even normally plan vacations until after I've done my taxes and know what money I'm getting back ( if any ) and what little I may've saved up from now 'til then...
aye, post-taxation vacation-planning means my options become limited, as there are places you need to plan a year in advance... but it's not as if that's a surprise, that's just how it works
I can't exactly plan and pre-pay for something now, particularly knowing I can't gaurantee a thing from now to then let alone would have the money to spare to pre-pay for anything this far in advance
but - hells - I technically got two vacations this year... the one paid for by my fathre in January and the Roadtrip I returned from last week :)
I think that more than makes up for the years between where I was unable to afford to do anything with vaca time but stay home, neh?
ANYways... the utterly-humid heatwave ( I nearly typed "hatewave," but it's kinda fitting, actually ) has kept me more indoors than I like since my return...
while it was roughly the same temps in SD, the humidity here makes the difference - making it nigh bloody unbearable !
so, kinda feelin' like a shut-in after work, but it's not as if I'd really have anywhere to go post-workday anyways, I supose...
I'd just be wandering randomly 'neath the sun until I felt like returning back to the Nest ( apartment ).
here's hopin' your week has been goin' well, my lovelies and gentlefolk !
'til next posting !
Posting Of The Week : 7/25 :
ah, the world I live in...
" someone thought they'd seen Grr at the TRF fair but it couldn't be cus Grr had a beer belly and was with a wife and sons "
1) it's a BACON belly, not a beer belly - a world of difference !
2) Sari - is there something you need to tell me ? *laughs*
3) yes, I WAS at the TRF Fair, with a friend and HER sons and cousin ( I believe? ), so it's demn funny that it appears I've adopted Sari and family without knowing it :D
4) you CAN tell me who it was, if you want - I'm just being nice and not including your name on here either ( you can message me ), but thought this was TOO demn funny to reply via message and had to share !
* at least the rumours that I died in a car accident seem to have finally died down... either that or I'm one helluva resurrectionist :)
random twittage ::
