…but my transmission sticks when I try to put it in “idle”.<\/p>\n
My employer gave us a four-day weekend last week.\u00a0 I can’t say that I’ve never had employers give us a floater on the day after a Thursday Christmas.<\/p>\n
But not only do we have today off – we have tomorrow <\/em>off as well.<\/p>\n I wouldn’t say I’m a workaholic – I like my job a lot, of course – but I don’t do time off very gracefully.\u00a0 Part of it is having been a contractor\/freelancer for most of the past decade; time is money, or at least it was for a long, long time.\u00a0 Part of it is I’m just not someone who relaxes well.<\/p>\n Today’s one thing.\u00a0 Nobody’s working.\u00a0 I can\u00a0 more or less justify taking a long steam at the gym and vegging out and watching the Monk <\/em>marathon.<\/p>\n Tomorrow?\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 I’ll be fidgeting starting by 6AM.\u00a0 I’ll probably start sanding floors by 9.<\/p>\n How do <\/em>people learn how to relax, anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …but my transmission sticks when I try to put it in “idle”.
