FastGurl is wanting to move to the Cote d'Azur

accomplished... kinda 1 day ago

I found, for me, that the secret here is more vacation. A vacation doesn’t mean necessarily to leave town… it just means, taking a day off. I mean, really OFF.

I typically will work if I can’t sleep or on the weekends or holidays. So now, I make days where I’m not working. So if I take Tuesday off, I don’t look at work or work-related stuff from Monday night until Wednesday morning. This is like a mini-vaca.

Try it.

or maybe, don’t try it… considering the state of the US economy, maybe too many people are already doing this. LOL

I suck at this 10 months ago

so it’s 10pm, I’ve been @ work since 6am and there’s no end in sight.

The europeans have it right—why do we work so much????



I know it's cheating.... 15 months ago

but I am on a week off so I’m doing pretty well on this at the moment!!



A little over a year later.... 15 months ago

It seems like I can never get ahead. The girl that I hired worked out for the year but ended up moving which sent me right back to square one. I am still working both jobs. But since one of them is my own business, I decided that I was going to take 2 days off each week- 1 for household/errands, etc. the other for me & my daughter. Today we actually went to the library & got ourselves a library card & a stack of books, grabbed a “coffee” & headed to the park to read. It was a nice change of pace for both of us!

Work 19 months ago

Work is such a necessary evil. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but I also loveeee going home when the day is done. Upon hearing of my day long desire to go home, a co-worker of mine somewhat rudely expressed “How are you EVER going to get through another 30 years of work??” Well duhhhhh…I don’t work for fun!!! I work to pay bills and support my life OUTSIDE of work…so naturally it makes sense to want to leave! Too much time wasted putting in the hours, and not enough time enjoying family, friends, the sun, the beach, and all things wonderful!

Can you over-vacation 21 months ago

Well I of course paid for taking off Monday, by having to work today (Saturday), but it doesn’t matter, because I just impulse purchased tickets for a Thursday-Monday beach trip for THIS WEEK. I may be doing too well on this goal! But to be fair I have two full-time jobs, working on my doctorate on the side, oh, and I live in a foreign culture, so I may have more stress that other people. . .Lombok (better than Bali)here I come!

Yeah me! 21 months ago

Spent two whole days in a hotel at the end of my trip . . . shopped like a maniac, sat by the pool, had a cocktail. Came home and took a sick day on Monday (really was sick-food poisoning), so now I can’t get anymore rested, and the best part is that this is one of two weeks off of school this semester, so no school work to do too. Trying not to get all hyped-up again . . .

Heard a joke . . . 21 months ago

I’m a recovering workaholic . . .haven’t worked in years! I have traveled every week this month, and this week, I might actually turn my business trip into a weekend retreat, still procrastinating on it though, seems wrong to not do ANY work this weekend . . .
