Since its clear i'll have to camp at my apartment this week I decided to take a much needed vacation. How will I spend it? Will I be able to detach from work and enjoy it? Will I sit at my laptop refreshing e-mail? Will I hover around my cell-phone waiting for an emergency call that will never arrive?
-
7 DAYS OF NO WORK
sleep 'til whenever you want
harrass your working friends at any hour
watch all the crap you now you wouldn't watch when your time is more precious
-
7 days off? You suck! I only get Friday through Tuesday off.
You should spend Wednesday through Monday grinding in Disgaea 3. :spin :dizzy
-
Will I hover around my cell-phone waiting for an emergency call that will never arrive?
3 AM call! :o :lol
the answer is stunningly obvious and we've been down this road before: a family sized box of cheez-its , a big gulp of dew and the geekiest piece of gaming nerdery you can find until the sight and/or smell of yourself makes you physically ill.
also, laptop with IM windows to friends at work is a must. bonus if you link your achivement page to them along with pics of the cocky funny avatar as you round up new achivements.
-
When does vacation begin? I wouldn't waste it on sleep since you don't usually get to mess around overnight. Giving TVC or Drinky fake emergency calls at 3AM is a good idea.
-
Well I took 4 days off, going into a 3 day weekend. The math is awesome, even if i'll be around the sounds of construction most of the time.

Haha if I have my laptop ill just watch my e-mail and be pensive all week. I really need to break out of this 'consequences of my vacation' mindset and relax

Yeah I have so much anime/tvseries/movies to watch and bunches of games. Its my vacation job.

take the first half of your first vacation day to go ahead and get all your little errands and such done
there's nothing worse than putting all that stuff off until the last day of vacation, knowing you could be squeezing the last few minutes of enjoyment out of it instead of doing chores around the house
-
start exercisin ya lazy bum!
OOOHHH YEAAAH RUNNIN AN' WATER ATHLETICS
-
Wait til you have kids bud. Vacation is more work than being at work. :-\
Enjoy it though, it will fly by.
-
oh yea i forgot about MAF's kids.

My daughter got me up at 5.45 this morning (after waking up intermittently throughout the night). Had to watch tv and play with her 'til she went back to sleep again at 7. Which was handy, 'cause that's exactly when I normally get up for work.
Getting on that train to work actually feels like an escape these days. I get to spend the whole day in a cubicle with a nice chair and the internet! No kid bugging me!
-
Enjoy the time off, MAF.

Show up at Prole's house everyday 20 minutes before he gets home from work with half a six pack (you drank the other three on his porch) and some old bologna that you need bread for.
:lol
-
Why would I have kids? I was going to start dating again but then remembered how much I love to do what I want when I want and be entirely selfish

Kids are horrible. I don't know why people willing have them in an age of birth control.

they are a sort of vanity luxury item. You have them to prove your parts work and then push them to excel in their peer group to prove your genes are good. I suppose for some people there is a biological imperative but hey what is technology, government , and civilization but a means of fufilling through alternate means or outright overcoming our base biological imperatives?

I like other people's kids, I just dont want any of my own.

You talk about them as if they're a unit in Civ4 ;)

Odd luxury item; the only kind of luxury item that poorer people have more of.
I really don't think men have a strong biological imperative to have children, just a strong drive to fuck and form monogamous or serial-monogamous relationships. And that was enough in an environment without birth control
