One more work day. Then 12 days off. 8 of those (weekdays) are paid without using any vacation, personal, or sick time! (...)

Ahhhh
Where to start? It’s been nearly a month since the last post here at MtDewVirus. That has to be a record since the blog started over two years ago. The lack of posts hasn’t been because of a lack of activity, because plenty has been going on in my life and the world around me. I simply needed some time away from blogging. (...)
Merry New Birthday
It’s been awhile. Too long. The last post I made was December 16th, which I believe is the longest period without activity since the blog launched over two years ago. I’ve missed Christmas, my 26th birthday (12/26), and the New Year. I even missed the 2 year anniversary of MtDewVirus, which would have been on November 22nd. (...)

Out of Office
Just looking at the calendar I counted out of the next 21 weekdays I’ll only be at work for 7.5 of them. I love this time of year! Our holiday break starts at noon on December 22nd and we’re back to work on January 3rd. On the 8th of January I fly out to San Francisco for MacWorld and will return on the 14th after a nice 7 hour layover in Las Vegas. (...)

Endless Time Off
After using 64 hours of vacation in August I still have 169 hours left and 48 sick days. Sick days work on a yearly basis and renew with the fiscal year each July 1st. We build vacation time at 15 hours a month up to a maximum of 275 hours. (...)

I’m Back
It’s been over a week since I posted. I had a great time on my golf trip, but I’ve been busy since I came back. I’m still tired out and my back is sore each morning when I crawl out of bed. I haven’t played golf since the trip and I doubt I will for at least another week…I’m all golfed out. 108 holes and 30 hours of sun over 3 days will do that to a person. (...)
Offline
I’ll be offline until late Tuesday night. That’s an extremely long time for me. I’m not sure I’ll be able to go 12 hours without checking the status of my Google ads or Gmail. Hopefully I’ll be hitting them long and straight and making a few putts along the way. (...)
Refreshed
I was out of town for a long weekend and I’ve been very busy since I came back, so that’s why I haven’t posted in a week or so. Last weekend was the 2005 Nautical Festival (”Naughty Fest”) in my hometown of Rogers City, MI. It’s always a blast and this year was no exception. I had more fun over those couple of days than I’ve had in a long time. (...)
Holiday Vacation
Did I mention that I’m on paid holiday vacation until January 3rd? I’ve been waiting for this break for a looong time. (...)

Gotta Get Away
I’ll be leaving work early today to head up north for the weekend. I’m really looking forward to getting away for a few days. I haven’t had a day off work in over two months and I need it. I really hope to get my creativity back. I had planned to launch a new design for this site on the blogiversary. (...)

I’m Off…
In about an hour I’ll be taking off for Flint, flying to Chicago, and then arriving in Philadelphia sometime after 6 (their time). Lindsay and I always have fun, so it should be a blast. I have no clue what we are doing though, I left all of the planning up to Lindsay (teachers have all that damn free time in the summer). The training class should be really good too. (...)
Enjoying My Break
I’ve been enjoying my holiday break a great deal. At the same time, I miss being back in Saginaw at my apartment, but this is a nice little get-away. I’ve been sleeping in until at least 10 every morning and I didn’t even leave the house yesterday. The big project yesterday was to get a page up with poker chip tricks tutorial, and so far the page is getting a lot of attention. (...)

12 Days of Christmas
I was done working at noon today (the President of SVSU gave us a half day off) and now have 12 days of free vacation time. It’s one of the perks of working for a University. (...)

Another Loss
We had our 2nd game for Basketball league tonight. We lost 54-51. I think I had 15 or maybe 17 points. We were down by 10 with under 3 minutes and made a nice little come back. I hit 2 three pointers in the last minute to pull within one and then fouled (they made both free throws), but we didn’t get a good shot off at the end of the game. (...)

Vacations Are Nice, But…
A vacation from work and normal life is always a nice thing. It helps to clear the mind and gives you time re-focus on things. It’s fun to get away from all of the normal, everyday responsibilities that we have. Vacations are a time to relax, have fun, un-wind, and “free your mind” (couldn’t help myself with the Matrix quote). (...)
