: Tomorrow, and the next week
I am using up last year's unused holiday time next week.
(I originally planned to start next Tuesday, but various things that have happened* have actually made it better to begin tomorrow lunchtime, which feels like really the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Also, I don't go back to work till lunchtime Tuesday 12th May.)
I can't go anywhere - indeed, I've got to check my work e-mail once a day without fail because I'm still supervising the development of our new website. (This is so far not very onerous, but does involve me eyeballing stuff and going "yes, that's OK" or "sorry, try again".) But I don't have to go into work! Or do anything else but make sure the new website keeps chuntering along! (Okay, I may meet up with some people from work. If I feel like it. Or I might not. Still.) (Okay, I may go in for the team meeting Tuesday morning. But only if Scottish Gas are all done by the time the meeting's due to start.) (Okay, seriously, this may not sound like much of a holiday but it is, it is, I'm looking forward to it!)
*A meeting that got shifted unilaterally from Monday afternoon to the following Tuesday. Which is fine, it gives me more time to prepare for it. That the quarterly newsletter I do is looking good to go to the printers today, when it usually ends up being a terrible last-minute rush. That I got our weekly e-mail newsletter off on time without difficulty. All-in-all.
Anyway.
I'm going to make a holiday todo list, and will be posting daily with "to do list of the day", which you can safely ignore - but this is your opportunity to tell me to do something. Something fun. Something interesting. Something I might not have thought to do myself. Something out-of-the-way. Something I can do that does not involve more than an overnight anywhere. And when I do it, I can write a post about it! So: write your idea (255 character limit, less onerous than Twitter, and you can always expand on it in a comment) and suggest a day to do it, and if I like it I'll do it and post about it.
...well, it sounds like fun to me, but maybe I need to get out more.
