I Need A Vacation!

It's been a rather drab day at work today, not because there is no work. I do have some work that needs to be done but I can't seem to figure out how to get it done! The day started out okay. It was a nice rainy morning, well, would have been nicer if I was at home sleeping instead of working.

I had an early morning appointment today so didn't have much time to mess with my blog and do any blog hopping for today. Surprisingly the roads were pretty clear for a rainy day. Normally when it rains here traffic start slowing down to a crawl, thankfully it didn't today. Finished my appointment pretty fast and headed back to the office.

Got down to getting some work completed but the ideas are just not flowing at all today. I sat there for about half an hour drumming my fingers on my table, staring at the screen and not being able to do anything about it. The work that I have to be completed isn't really something I haven't done before but today the mind refuses to cooperate. I sat there another 15 minutes before I decided to screw it and just check my blog. I'm sure the ideas will flow later.

I hate days when my mind doesn't work. Luckily the work I have isn't that urgent. Well it was urgent a little while ago but I found out just a while ago that the client has gone overseas so that's good news for me. Can procrastinate till next week :D Just imagine if it was urgent, I'd probably be knocking my head against the wall to get some ideas by now. I've had days when I was a total blank and things were needed urgently and I almost went crazy trying to get things done!

I think I need a vacation. I really cannot remember the last time I took a holiday. I've been working my butt off every single day and my office has been really short handed for a very long time now. I think I've been doing at least 3-4 peoples job at times! There are days when I've been a delivery boy, an admin clerk, and accounts clerk, a copywriter, a translator besides just being a plain old Account Manager. Sometimes I hate this job!

First chance I get, I'm going to apply for some much needed leave and go for a holiday with the family somewhere. Actually, wifey and me were planning to go for a holiday this Christmas, but my mom has so sportingly agreed to host the Christmas dinner at our place without even telling me about it before hand so wifey and me decided to scrap that holiday. I wouldn't feel good letting my mom do everything while I'm holidaying in some nice ski resort or something ... LOL!

Guess I'll have to plan that holiday some other time, but with the kids and school and all that, topped up with work, it's really going to be hard to find some down time for a holiday. Siggghhh .... well, at least there's about 2 hours to go before I head home, that's something isn't it? Sorry folks but I'm in a gloomy mood today so my post is also pretty gloomy ... LOL! Gee, I can laugh about it even! I think I'm going nuts. Ok, time to go blog hop for a bit. That should make the time move faster.

Oh, on a brighter note, my wife found those sliver cufflinks I lost a few weeks back :)
