Denial
Posted on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 at 12:56 amA lot of times after a vacation, part of me looks forward to going back to work. I enjoy routines. For all that I joke about winning the lottery and quitting my job, I know that even if I didn’t have a job, I would need to find some sort of routine by which to live. So after some time away, on a random schedule, the prospect of heading back to work is usually not a bad one. After all, I like my job, I like my coworkers.
I could go for a longer break now, though. I’ve been off for almost two weeks (since December 23), but I haven’t been home a ton, and don’t feel like I’ve had time to just lounge around and not do anything. I’ve been doing fun things–dinner with friends, going to the Newseum, having an open house and hanging out with people–but I haven’t had enough lounging-around-in-my-pajamas time. And next weekend I have Ford’s and Smithsonian, so it’s not like I have free time then. But hey, at least Martin Luther King Day is coming up…
I’ve spent most of this break preoccupied. I think I’m going to go to the movies tomorrow, maybe check out Up in the Air. While I’d have to get out of my pajamas, it might help me get out of my head a bit.
