It's easy to take it for granted, but it's a real blessing to work in a system where paid vacation is a reality. It's said that Americans, relative to other Western countries, take very few vacation days. I can't say I understand why, and I'm happy to blow the curve on this one. If I have vacation time, I use it. Even if I don't travel, which happens since I get considerably more vacation time than Kate (seniority has its perks). I think vacation is just as important as work. I need the decompression. I think we all do.
We're leaving for Florida this Thursday for a five day family visit. I'm sure it will provide us with plenty of material for entries. I just hope it provides the time to write them. Like this one, I suspect they'll be a little shorter than normal.
But rest assured, the positivity will be turned to eleven.
