The worst part of vacation—the end. It wouldn’t be so bad
but the end always comes too soon. Before I even get used to the idea of
vacation, it’s time to go back to work.
Yes, as some of my gifted readers may have guessed, I was on
vacation last week, one of three that I’m allotted per year. Getting a day off
any other time is not likely—unless a hospital stay is involved. Since that’s
not my idea of a day off, I generally just go to work!
On this occasion, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary
by visiting her family in Wisconsin. (I can hear the groans now of all those
who think visiting their spouses family is a horrible way to spend a vacation).
But, it’s okay, I actually like my in-laws!
One thing that made this vacation memorable was we took our
one and a half year old grandson along with us. The kid is quickly becoming a
seasoned air traveler as this was his tenth plane ride, I think. At more than
one every two months, he is well on his way to joining the frequent flyer
program. (That may diminish somewhat when he actually has to start paying to
fly).
It was a fun week—at least for me. I guess I can’t speak for
my wife, or the grandkid, or the in-laws for that matter! I think we all
had a good time, relaxing, catching up, and enjoying the summer. But
ultimately, my vacation was too short. And here it is Monday already and time
to return to the daily grind.
I think I need a job where I work three weeks out of the
year and vacation the other forty-nine. The opposite of what I do now. That, I
could handle. Maybe. Although, it probably wouldn’t take that long before the
forty-nine weeks would just not be enough and I’d be complaining my vacation
had ended too soon!
