No Rest For The Working Man

I’m still tired.  I already went on a two-day vacation last Monday and Tuesday but I still feel used up.  Of course, the rest period without any contact from the office did some good.  I was able to organize my room, went to watch a movie, and most importantly, I got to sleep long.  Yep.  A few more hours of sleep can do wonders for me nowadays.  I can’t seem to get enough of it.  There’s no such thing as too much sleep, or too much vacation for me.

All of this I attribute to improper planning.  “Improper planning” here means I kinda advised my team members to file holiday vacation leaves early, resulting to me not being able to schedule mine, as my back-ups spread out at different days, so I need to be in the office so the team’s still fully-covered.  I got the usual public holidays.  And from then on until my scheduled leave last week, I was in the office.  I really can’t remember well, but I think this is the first time since I started working that I didn’t take advantage of the long holiday option, either before or after Christmas.  It’s not so bad, but due to the fact that I really am not that young anymore, I guess all the stress and effort is catching up on me.  Oh well.  It makes me think if I really should be working this hard to earn THAT much money, and if there really is no easier way to earn a decent upscale lifestyle.  Anyway, enough of that rant.  I don’t need to be reminded of THOSE especially now that my to-do lists can’t fit into one day of my Starbucks planner.  This year, I’m filing my holiday vacation early.  I wonder how much it would cost for me to relax in Bohol….
