The days tick by and my vacation gets closer. But why is taking three weeks off so weird to people around my office? If I said I was taking a week off, or even two weeks, people don't give it a second thought. But if you say you're taking *three* weeks off they look at you like you had just slashed the tires of the CEO's Porche and left a signed note. And I work in what I thought was a pretty laid back environment. Somehow this makes me nervous.
marychrist:
I think maybe America and Britain are too hung up on the Protestant Work Ethic thing. It's not healthy. Surely we work so that we have money to be able to live our lives how we want. Vacations shouldn't be seen as an inconvenience getting in the way of work. Work is an inconvenience that gets in the way of living life. (Well, ok - it's also a social thing and an important part of self-actualisation but you get my point.)

By the way, I see you like Delgados. Are you into other Scottish bands like Dawn Of The Replicants, Mogwai and Arab Strap?
