Incanus 5,890 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Well this means you will have inexorbitant amounts of time to post here, doesnt' it BloodBoal?I on the other hand would kill for a job. You can't have a holiday when you don't have a job.
Thor 9,362 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Today starts my holiday too. Will go down south tomorrow, to spend a few days on our family island (and a few in my hometown after that), then back to Oslo for big city holiday, another brief weekend trip to our summer house in Denmark in August and then the BIG trip to California in late August (to see John Wililams live, among other things). Those are my plans.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I'm off next Wednesday for a Holiday, I will be off in September for a vacation. And a Holiday too.
alicebrallice 134 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 two months? nice. you're not a teacher, are you? I on the other hand would kill for a job. You can't have a holiday when you don't have a job.that makes two of us
Wojo 2,458 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I on the other hand would kill for a job.Have you applied to be a professional assassin? They periodically have job listings available.
hornist 1,261 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Well I think it is gonna be extremely fun two months here in the forum when Bloody has all the time in his hands. :blink: btw what the hell is that wrong Avatar thing? I'm all the time confused who's post I'm reading!!!!
Brónach 1,330 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 No vacation for me. All summer doing stuff and studying.
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Imagine Bloodbait as a teacher... He would be like Dr. Cox on steroids!Seriously though, enjoy yourself!
KK 3,313 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I've had a pretty bad year too and I'm also grateful for my 2 months off as well. Too bad it means seeing more of your posts Bloodboal...
stewdog1 50 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm off next Wednesday for a Holiday, I will be off in September for a vacation. And a Holiday too.Besides Wednesday, I'll take off the Thursday and Friday as well. Also known as the WTF of the week. Ren 1
Marian Schedenig 11,695 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm open to any suggestion you may have!I'm thinking of getting my eyes lasered during my next holiday. Can you do that for me? Would save me a lot of money, and leave me free to do other stuff instead.

Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Just got back from my 9 day vacation in California/Nevada. Back to work, which I'll gladly do since I'm absolutely broke. Spent so much money.
indy4 160 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 California/Nevada? No money left? Sounds like you went to Vegas.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 California/Nevada? No money left? Sounds like you went to Vegas.That is correct, among several other places. We drove 2,200 miles throughout the whole trip.
Wojo 2,458 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 California/Nevada? No money left? Sounds like you went to Vegas.What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Including the money.It may suck now but think of the stories you'll tell your grandkids.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,387 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 It's why I have chose not to have friends.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 My 10 day vacation comes to an end today.I went down to Pennslyvania and played disc golf at 4 different courses, and saw 3 Pawtucket Red Sox @ Lehigh Valley Ironpigs baseball games at Coca Cola Field, which is an AMAZING stadium with AMAZING food, including the best corn on the cob I've ever had.I also went up to the White Mountains in New Hampshire with my girlfriend and we camped for 3 nights. It rained while we were setting up and while we were taking our stuff down, but in between we had good weather. We climbed a mountain (my second 4,000+ footer; her 6th), we cooked awesome food over the camp fire, I started reading a great book (Ender's Shadow) and relaxed in a hammock (Hammocks freaking RULE, why did I never buy one until now?)Today I cleaned my car inside and out (boy, did it need it!) and went for a swim in the lake I live on (Why did I wait until now to go in this year? The water is PERFECT).I don't want to go back to work tomorrow! But at least I have several pages of JWFan threads to catch up on....
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Good to have you back. I'd never swim in de lehk.
Xander Harris 9,675 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 All vacation and personal days are currently used up. Went to Disney World too many times this year.
Thor 9,362 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 My first summer holiday of the season is also over today. Spent a week at our previously-mentioned family island with one or two really good and sunny days -- here are four mood shots:http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/534548_10151062940531278_781296919_n.jpg (it's the island in the middle of the photo)http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/561240_10151062940631278_1792902807_n.jpghttp://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/602643_10151062940706278_1461826863_n.jpghttp://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/483027_10151062940431278_729281377_n.jpgNow it's back to Oslo for a few things to sort out, and then it's probably back to the South again for a few more days.
alicebrallice 134 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 family island? my god! please don't tell me you guys have an awesome boat too.I really want a boat.
crocodile 9,724 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I've still got 4 weeks and 1 day to use this year. No concept what to do with it whatsoever. But I like the idea of still having some time to book, just in case.Karol
Thor 9,362 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 family island? my god! please don't tell me you guys have an awesome boat too.I really want a boat. We (i.e. the extended family who owns the island) actually have TWO. We have to, because you can't get to it by car. My dad has owned a few boats over the years, including a sailboat by our summer house in Denmark, but he has sold them as we haven't really had the time to use them to justify the expense.Don't you have any friends who can take you out sometime, Alice? I'm not sure, however, how the boating possibilities are in your area (I've just been to the city itself).

Thor 9,362 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 It's only an island if you look at it from the water.Profound. By the way, it's more like this....Thor relaxin' on the beach while dangers lurk:
nightscape94 968 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I have a week vacation coming up at the end of August. I'm thinking road trip, then again, perhaps I'll do nothing. Either way I'm not working.
