Back to work I go tomorrow morning. I can say that I am looking forward to it. I have never had 11 days off all at once. It's been fun but I am ready to get back at it..


Hope everyone has had a great/safe holiday season as well..

    Glad to hear everyone enjoyed thier vacation, and holidays. I have been off since the 19th and don't mind going back to a short week, it's the long stretch after that. I got to do some Phesant hunting, Ice fishing the past few days have been cold enough to put 6 inches of ice on the fishing hole, stayed busy so cabin fever didn't happen back to the grind tomorrow. Happy New Year everyone.

    Wow, what kind of work do you guys do?!? We were "rolling down the rail" all though the holidays, no days off, at all, guess freight never waits. No wonder my wife bought me a coffee mug for Christmas that says "Mr. Grumpy"...

    I had 15 days off, although I participated in some conference calls. It was good to be out of the office for a long spell!

    I've been off since Christmas day - had to work Christmas eve.

    Our company gives us the break between Christmas and New Years off.

    This year I took the rest of the week off to get two weeks straight before trudging back to work.

    I'm getting close to retirement and could get used not going back to the 'grind'. I'll just have to refrain from buying as much as I used to :sad:

    I started back yesterday and had productive day in the office. I was able to get caught up on emails, expense reports, see what issues owners are having in the field with our equipment, etc. Here's to a good start for all of you. Enjoy it gents.

    I reluctantly made my way back to work today. I got caught up with the odds and ends BS from being gone since the 22nd by lunch, and now working on the nuts and bolts from being gone. Here it is a few minutes from 5 and it feels like I've been at work for just a few hours. Unexpected, but well received...haha
