The other several-days vacation than at the “Happiest Place on Earth”

At this point approaching three years working at the same company, I have now earned two weeks of vacation.  The other week for my vacation this year will happen on July 8-14, 2010.  We are not planning anything “big;” we have to save money for the vacation plans later this year to DisneyWorld and the Harry Potter theme park.  We also have a flying airplane trip most likely to Northern California for my niece’s high school graduation next year.

I thought I would take more time to complete tasks around the apartment, continue to plan more for the upcoming intense schedule at work with new procedures to deliver guests orders.  I have a lot to accomplish in my professional development plan.  There are a lot of projects to do, to learn about the company’s business.

We planned to attend the NASCAR Sprint Cup race again this year in Bristol, but it’ll fall in the blackout months that my workplace will not allow at least three days off in a row, which is needed minimal for the race weekend.  That’s sad, but obviously a part of work like—which I sense many workers may not know about from what I manage and from what I hear around the workplace.  I think that it all works out the way it should because the cost of going would put a dent in our finances, so it will all work out the say that it should with our Florida trip in December.  It’s disappointing that we won’t be able to visit a racetrack in the 2010 season.  Thank goodness for television, DVR, and RaceTrack.
