For the next few weekends, we'll be having a nice, low-key fundraiser, compared to the madness that is October. My running joke about the attendance at these events is a cheery greeting: "Welcome NPR listeners!" Being an NPR listener myself, it's an affectionate jest, not a put-down at all. I have some vacation time I need to use before year's end, but I'll be working on the weekends because my department is overextended. No worries there- work sure beats dealing with holiday shopping traffic!
It'll be nice to have people onsite after a few weeks of quiet, and it'll be even nicer at the end of the month to settle in for a nice, long winter of peace and quiet. Over the years, I've come to know quite a few of our regular visitors, and they are all lovely people. It'll be nice saying "thank you, goodbye, enjoy your holidays and we'll see you in the spring" to them.
Is it use-it-or-lose-it vacation?
ReplyDeleteBecause if it is, you're being screwed out of it.
"Here's your vacation, B^4. But we've cut staff so much, you'll have to be a good lad and sacrifice it for the cause."

I knew the risks, I should have taken it before the fall. The thing is, I like being at work, the place is gorgeous!
