Once I had reached five (5) years on the job I started earning three weeks of vacation per year.  My vacation days reset every April on my hire date anniversary.  So far for the 2008 year I’ve taken four days total.  Which means that I’m staring at eleven (11) days of vacation that I need to use.

So this year I decided to repeat last year’s little experiment and take consecutive Monday’s off.  I now have scheduled 10 Mondays and 1 Friday off for the next 11 weeks.  Today is week number one.  What am I going to do?  Well not sure.  It is a quarter to eleven right now, I’m still in my robe, and I have yet to beat Grand Theft Auto 4 which I bought a year ago (I’ve restarted it a few times for various reasons, the most recent because PS3 finally introduced XBOX style achievements).
But in the interest of furthering scientific research, I have placed a cat underneath an IKEA bag to test it’s intelligence.  It has been 5 min.  Draw your own conclusions.
