Seems like every time I turn around my co workers are asking for a day off and they’re always granted. To the point that we are constantly shorthanded. So why should I skimp on mine?
Maybe a Friday and a Monday so I have a long weekend!

Life is too short not to enjoy it


When I lived in PA, I loved trout fishing in April and May. May is a beautiful time of the year there.

Right on, Eric.I’m not saying we don’t need the money and we certainly aren’t “well off” but we keep our lives simple enough that when you need to take a break, it doesn’t break the bank

I pan handled enough money yesterday to buy a lottery ticket. Hoping for enough to get a tshirt today. Keeping my fingers crossed on the lottery ticket.

Sounds like a great plan

I don't take near enough time off for myself either

Usually sell some back and donate some as well

We have a great fishery about 2.5hrs from us in SE Oklahoma. Put and take mostly but one section of the river is cold enough year round that they reproduce

We fly fish for them

I take every minute off that I'm allowed. Why do you feel bad taking time off you earned? Maybe they would hire another person if you didn't sacrifice your time off for others. Last year I took 8 weeks off and wish I had a couple more! They survived without me.

If you need to spend some quality time you are welcome to come down and bottle for the day, clean and grind some glands. A gal couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. smile
