Burning Vacation TimeI have 8 days of vacation time that will expire if I don't use them, so I'm taking 8 Fridays in a row off, basically all of Oct and Nov. I wish I'd taken them during the summer instead of winter, this happens to me every year.
I really hope I use those days off productively, working on my own projects or learning stuff, instead of sleeping in and watching crap movies and TV.
Note to self: use this time wisely!

Yeah, it sounds good enough to make people jealous. As an added bonus, you would be saving the planet!

Well I thought about it, and it came down to wanting eight 4-day workweeks in a row, which is actually pretty awesome.

So (as I tweeted before), why not take them all together - maybe for a train trip through fall scenery? Remember (e:metalpeter), we saw something like this offered at the Fair. Do you remember what it was?

I'm kinda in the same spot with Vacation Time. Not sure how I'm using mine though yet. Hopefully I'll use all my days and hopefully all your days off work out to be Productive ad/or fun.

Oh man, I don't as well but Hulu is super-evil! I put it in my "hosts" file so that when I am tempted to click on hulu links or automatically type "hulu.com", the browser refuses to budge.

What's important is what you do with the pumpkin. For example, pumpkin pie, toasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin ale, this - :::link::: - etc.

Email posting, the subject of the email becomes the post title, but I forgot to add it.
How do you even post without a title?! Doesn't it throw up its hands and say you definitely need one?
