Well, I made a big mistake! At work, we have to request time off before the 10th of the previous month and get it approved. Well, since I have so many hours of cto time and because my work is selling ownership of the assisted living place that I work at, I thought I better start using some of that off time before they switch owners and I possibly lose the time off. Go figure, I would chose this week. It's so cold out that you can't stay out for very long without getting frostbite. Do I know how to pick vacation time or what? Anyway, I decided to make the best of my time off. I'm going to get alot of stuff done around the house that I've been putting off. I'm going to read alot, work on my scrapbook, and spend some of the time just lounging in my lazyboy recliner and watching TV. Not a great way to spend vacation time, but I really needed the break from work. Things have been so hectic lately, I really needed some time away. And now with the added stress of . . . Who's going to buy us out? Are they going to keep the work staff? Will I have to look for another job? How much are things going to change here? What kind of benefits will they offer? Will the benefits be as good as what we have now? . . . I really need some relaxation time. I think everything will work out fine, but the fear of the unknown scares me a little bit.
