2 glorious week off work. 2 weeks to do whatever the hell I want without somebody telling me I'm doing it wrong. Or maybe I am doing it wrong, the holiday that is.
See my idea of a holiday is not packing up and going somewhere, or planning day trips all over the place. My idea of a holiday, is turning off the work pc and just doing whatever the hell I want. I can do as much as I want or as little as I want. And it's not costing me a dime, which is just as well since I don't have any money to go anywhere anyway.
Whenever I say I'm going on leave, I get asked constantly 'where are you going?', ummmm nowhere, the response is usually cries of shock and gasps of horror. Apparently I'm not doing it right. I should be jumping on a cruise (I work for the company last thing I want to do is anything associated with work), I should be meeting up and going out with people, why? I don't lock myself up and refuse to go out when I'm working, I just go out around my shift. And why should I spend a fortune doing something I really don't want to do, just cause everyone else does it?
I put my money towards paying off bills and buying stuff for the house, I really really really need a new bed. I don't have extra to squander on a cruise or shopping. Don't get me wrong, cruising is a great holiday, unpack once and someone else runs around doing everything for you, perfect. But to be honest I'd rather sleep in my own bed, and watch whatever I want on telly, or sit down and read. Hmmmm, I guess you could say I'm not a great mixer. The thing is by the time I finally have some leave, I'm usually so tense and fed up with having to deal with morons that the first person who I hear whine just a little bit would die LOL.
Ahhhh I hear you wondering why I am on my pc when I work on one all day. Well that's easy this one is for fun, I enjoy being on my pc, I'm not wearing a headset and I'm not wondering when my next break is. The whole damn day is a break, yahhhhh.
So for the first official day of my holidays, I've done the laundry, vaccummed the floors, made the beds and tidied up the house, heaven. Yep it sounds crazy and yeh these are things I do all the time, but I don't have to rush to finish before I start work, if I want to stop halfway through the vacuuming I do. No pressure = no tension, perfect. I do have one plan and that's to pick up my cutie pie grand daughter from day care tomorrow. I can handle that easy peasy, sure hope I don't nod off on the couch and sleep through it. I'm sure her mum would wake me up in a panic though LOL.
So I'm going to grab an orange and my book and do some reading. Have a wonderful day peeps.
