My Vacation Begins

[logisticslad]

I was dithering about whether to take one or two weeks off for vacation starting today until I spoke with my Dept Chair on Friday. After I handed him the paragraph he had asked me to write for his grant, he told me that he still hadn't submitted me for promotion, because one of my key recommendation letters hadn't come in. I sweetly asked him to see if he could expedite that and then informed him that I was going to be away for TWO weeks. Of course, I discovered that I have some work to do today while I'm off, but it directly benefits me to get it done now (I'm editing one of my student's papers for submission and I realized that I hadn't finished it before I left). Sigh.

So this is why I spent much of the weekend watching a marathon of America's Next Top Model :-)

Two weeks? Sweet!

I'm taking a "floating holiday" on Friday - Want to do something, or are you traveling?

Aw crap. If we knew you were going on vacation, we might have tried to get down there sometime. Oh well. It'll happen.
