    The Holidays were much too short.

    F to those of us who have to report back in to work today.

      Yesterday I woke up near Dallas, went to Houston for family stuff, went back to Dallas for different family stuff, and had to be at work at 8am this morning in Austin.

      I think just going to work is less work.

        If my job had work for me to do right now I guarantee I would have been back today. I have two weeks off because of Christmas and New Year’s falling on Wednesday, which means for the company we have a contract with, their employees were about to use only six days of PTO to get two paid weeks off. Most people took the opportunity. I don’t get PTO. My poor wife had to go back today and I know she hates me right now.

        I can’t complain. I am getting paid for doing some bullshit easy online training done. The classes are actually fairly complex networking stuff, but I can pass the tests much faster than reading and watching everything. I just give it a skim and hit the tests.

        Which reminds me I need to bang out a couple classes before midnight!
