Nothing Better

Nothing is better that walking into the office with a full suitcase and a week’s vacation ahead of you.  I felt so light and airy walking into the office – it was wonderful.
The feeling has since been dampened a bit by having to complete actual work before I go.  That and the continual frantic interruptions by one of my co-workers after she realized I was leaving.  She keeps glancing furtively at me and saying things like, “You’re leaving when?  I don’t know if I will have my stuff done by then…do you think you can wait until have such and such done?”
The funny part about these conversations is the fact that she isn’t my boss anymore and I don’t have to do anything for her before I leave.  She’s simply freaking out because I won’t be in just in case she might need me.
Regardless – I will be away from the office for 11 glorious days.  Not to return until September 4th.  I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of NOT BEING HERE.  It’s superb!
