I recently came back from a 5 day trip to Cape Cod for relaxing, then I went to the South Shore area of Boston to visit with my brother in law for 6 days. I been home chillin' with my new tube CDP (more on this in a later thread) that I bought from Halo (Victor). Tuesday, July 4th is a holiday at work. Should I go to work on Monday to clear out my email inbox, set up my schedule for what must be a boat load of commitments my boss wants from me, etc., or blow off work with a floating holiday (I get two) and continue to listen to tunes on my new CDP. And maybe do a few chores.:D

    This is even a question? You have your whole life to work man, play time only happens so often.
    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.

    I would go to work on Monday. Half the people won't be in anyway, the phones won't be ringing, no work will be done, and you'll lounge around and leave early!

    This was kind of what I was thinking when I originally planned my vacation. However, being off is contagious.

    BTW, maybe I should have mentioned that I get 5 weeks vacation. I have about two weeks left, plus two floating holidays.:D

    Being off for two weeks will do this to you!

    I haven't devolved that damn much....WOW.

    I think that beer goes well with a new CDP, so I may have to change my original stance on this issue....

    I gotta go to work Monday so I figure you should too.:D

    Nothing ruins a four day weekend more than going to work on the third day. I'd stay home but the day guy played the seniority card so I gotta be there.
