If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Two vac days and one stat means I am off work now until Monday morning! I have laid in coffee and single malt and a box of assorted milk chocolate creams. I have two fan projects to complete and two books to read. I have zest and pep and quite a lot of enthusiasm.

I'm a happy camper.

You know, vacation days are better than stats because the value of the day off is enhanced because everyone else is at work. I used to have a job where I worked Saturdays but had Mondays off. And there was a huge psychological benefit to having Mondays off while everyone else was staggering into work like a bunch of undercaffeinated zombies.

Hmm, any suggestions to enhance my time off even further?
