The military has a saying when a deadline is approaching, its the number of days and then the morning of the event. So, "one day and a wake" means that once I get through today, all I have to do is wake up and it's my mini vacation!
I have already dropped memorandums on my accounts with instructions on who to call because they won't reach me. I have changed my office voice mail with instructions because they won't reach me. I have changed my cell voice mail with instructions on who to call because they won't reach me.
Simple, I am taking a mini vacation, a real vacation. No phones, no client calls, no job related anything. Before my old boss was let go, you could take vacation, but you had answer email and maintain contact and be able to be contacted during your vacation. New boss, believes you need to recharge and get away for awhile. He's new to this business and does not quite get the 24/7 nature of providing security. But I am more than willing to be the test subject for the first vacation where an operations manager can take time without being called.
In fact, I'm using it a kind of a challenge, I will be avoiding the company website as I check my home email, updating my fantasy golf league and checking the Montgomery County Booking page.
I have been instructed to keep this blog updated "Daily" with lot of photos of my ski trip and travels. (kinda like having another job)
I also had to promise that while skiing for my two days in upstate New York I am to only stay on the beginner's slopes.
Stacy's rules for my vacation with David, do not be "stupid, foolish, childish, macho" but to have lots of fun. Does this lady know me or what?
My rules, the ones I live and work by? To do nothing "immoral, unethical or illegal." Seems to cover it all.
Don't worry. What's "stupid, foolish, childish and macho" to her, may not be to me. Ya see, it's all in the interpretation.

My grandpa used to tell me "If you can't be good, be careful." Have fun!! And don't break a leg or anything!
Why do I picture David and Frank being roomies in some hospital in upstate New York, with both legs in traction...both of them sedated on morphine...Frank yelling for a cigar and David yelling for a cigarette, and Kara looking at both of them saying, "I told you not to try to outdo Jason one last time".
