Vacation......Please?????

Well, 7 Days 3 Hours and 6 Minutes from now I'll be heading off with the family on vacation.  But who's counting???

With a little girl not in school yet, we always plan a week at the beach in South Jersey after Labor Day weekend.  The weather is still nice while everyone is gone since "summer is over".  It's also a time of the year for me to recharge before business picks up significantly over the next four months.

This is my last year at my company with only two weeks of vacation available to me (next year will be three)  I generally take one full week while using sporadic days with the rest.  Problem is I've learned that when I get towards the end of August, I so need that week away.  Each day that goes by right now, my patience is tested every time an employee comes to me for help.  It's not that I dislike the people that work for me, it's more that I need to refresh my batteries.

So I will continue to count down the days and look forward to spending some quality time with my wife and daughter before coming back two weeks from now and counting down the days to the next break.
