Rant: Back to work
Tomorrow will end a 17 day vacation of doing basically nothing which I find suits me. That is going to blow. First thing I do tomorrow is put my request for a week in February to go to Mexico.

17 day vacation? Holy [expletive] that's awesome. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. It won't be a hard day but basically Dad said "I need you to come figure out the new combine." As he plopped down a huge set of instructions on setting it up for our heads. Not looking forward to it. I'll probably be on GRB most of the day while I'm waiting for crap to load.

My buddy posted a pretty straightforward "back to school" facebook status a week ago and it immediately turned into everybody quoting Billy Madison for 50+ comments. Apparently that phrase is inextricably associated with Adam Sandler for anybody ages 25-35.Jocephus wrote:

10 vacation days, 17 total days with 3 weekends wrapped in. And I didn't check email once. Today is going to suck.IMADreamer wrote:17 day vacation? Holy [expletive] that's awesome.

Re: Rant: Back to work
Yeah, that fits me. My brother-in-law is a high school choir teacher, and he dropped a Billy Madison reference in one of his classes. No one got it. This was at least five years ago, so sadly, there's going to be a whole generation of people who know Adam Sandler as that guy from Blended, Jack and Jill, etc.The Third Man wrote:My buddy posted a pretty straightforward "back to school" facebook status a week ago and it immediately turned into everybody quoting Billy Madison for 50+ comments.

Re: Rant: Back to work
The key to avoiding this kind of malaise is to dread your job at all times. That way, you won't dread it any more on a day like today than you would on, say, a typical Wednesday in the middle of April.
