Vacation FTW
Dec. 20th, 2009 09:28 amI know I need some time off when I can't summon up the energy to post on LJ... My anti-stress fandom drug of choice lately has been vast quantities of cracktastic American Idol fic. Aheh.
I am using up vacation days. Well, technically, I am using up thirty-some hours of banked overtime, and carrying over almost two weeks of vacation to next year.
I have to go in to the library either this afternoon or tomorrow to finish up a couple of things that have to get done by the end of the year, and one day next week to make sure everyone gets paid. But... I have, counting from yesterday, sixteen days in a row where I am not obligated to fix problems, go to meetings, or be anywhere of a work-related nature at any particular time.
And... I may have been overly ambitious in the sheer quantity of books I brought home to read. But such is the joy of libraries.
I am about ninety percent done my Christmas shopping. Most of it was accomplished online, with the traditional Amazon order o' doom. There needs to be wrapping of presents, and if I am really ambitious, there will be Christmas cards mailed on Monday. Maybe. I am notoriously bad at getting things into the mail.
There are plans to make Christmas cookies on Tuesday. I also have been delegated the task of making cabbage rolls for Christmas Eve. I have thus far been denied the chance to read the Grinch Who Stole Christmas out loud to anyone, since it blizzarded the day of my December kids' book club at the library, but my cousin's kids are going to be at my parents' for Christmas Eve...
