Back to work after a week off. Time to dig out of the inbox, and catch up on everything I missed. Sometimes I think returning from PTO is the worst part. Not because I don't want to go to work (i really do enjoy what I do for a living) but because nothing actually stops while you're gone. Its probably worse for folks with more dependencies riding on them, but its still not great even at my level.
But first, my Macbook has to give me grief. I use a dock, to connect to two external displays, and the laptop itself sits with its lid closed. I had the audacity to shut it down when I logged off on Friday before my PTO. This morning, not only is there no way to turn the dang thing on without pulling it out of the little shelf its in, but... That dock it spends 95% of its life connected to? The one that gives it all of its input and output... Yea, I have to allow it to connect, which means holding the laptop on my palm while i turn it on, wait for it to completely boot, login, and then plug it into the dock and click.. Allow, before I can use my keyboard, mouse, and displays. Seriously. I get it, malicious devices are a thing. but the dock i use all the dang time?
Sigh.

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative. Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us .
Dear Senator / Representative:
Many Americans must provide a doctor's note if they are going to miss five days of work in a row and use any paid leave to cover this time. Because ordinary Americans must justify their medical absences to HR, I want you to draft and push forward legislation that requires the same of Congress, all federally-elected individuals, and all Cabinet appointments, be they confirmed or acting.
If any person in any of these roles is to miss five days of work for a medical reason, I want I doctor's note provided to Congressional Majority Leaders, Congressional Minority Leaders, and the head of OMB. These notes do not need to be made public, but they should be subject to Freedom of Information Acts.
Failure to provide a note that would meet normal HR standards would be a loss of pay, starting after day 5 of their absence.
I want all federal officials - elected, appointed, and acting - subjected to the same medical leave standards required of the rest of us.

It Is Official
It is official… I am on vacation.
Oh glorious glory, I am on vacation.
Six business days without having to go to work and do business. Ecstasy at its finest.
In less then 48 hours I will be in Florida where it is not 24 degrees out. It is just too amazing to be real. Warmth in January. Pretty please.

It is Going to Be a Long Day
It is about 7:30am. My work day starts at 9:00am. My vacation kicks off 8.5 hours later at 5:30pm.
It is going to be a long day. A really… really… long… day.
After that? I have to pack. I have to make a stash of protein bars to get me through the first couple of days in Florida. I have to figure out the camera situation… charge up the Z5 and put on the 40mm lens, fill up a bag with rolls of film, load a roll into Dad’s Pentax K1000. I’ve decided that Dad’s camera is coming with me this time. Normally I would take my Nikon FG-20, but this time I think I want to take the camera that hurled me down the film rabbit hole a few years ago. Yeah. I am weird.
Anyway. Yesterday I bitched about how the Bruins suck now. Last night they beat Ottawa and jumped three places in the standings. Not only are they back in a playoff spot, but they above the wild card spots and back into third in the division. What a world, huh? We’ll see how long this lasts. The standings are pretty tight these days.
Okay. Time to get the ball rolling on this Friday. Vacation is less than 10 hours away.

It is Time
Yup. It’s time. What time? Too-close-to-vacation-to-concentrate-on-anything-else time.
One work day left. At 5:30pm tomorrow (about 21 hours from now) I will punch out of work and be on vacation for more than a week. I’m on PTO all of next week and the following Monday. Six business days.
I just have to get through that one final work day and then I will be out out out and I can’t wait. Also, I can’t focus on anything else. The flight to Florida is Sunday before dawn. At this moment in time, on Thursday night, I am literally watching Disney travel videos on YouTube. This one is about finding hidden perks when staying at the resorts.
Let’s go now. I mean, the hell with responsibilities, let’s just leave now!

Back to Work
It was like a three day weekend except that it happened in the middle of the week. Now it’s Friday and xmas is over and I am back at work and it sucks.
Well… sucks is probably over dramatic. I feel more like I wish I had taken today off as well and given myself a six day weekend, which would have felt more like an actual vacation. I’m off again on Wednesday for New Year’s Day, and then we’re back to normal for a few weeks until we go on Jen’s birthday trip to Florida late in January.
I planned to work in the office today, but my cold is still a thing so I am working from home. I probably won’t hit my in-the-office-quote for December now, but being sick and not wanting to spread the bug is an acceptable reason for coming up a little short. I do feel quite a bit better, but I am far from over it. Worse, I have a cold sore on my lip now. Oh good.
Okay. Time to get caught up on all of the email that came in while I was out. That should take a while. Wish me luck.

YES! A hopeful milestone for American #Labor & working families:
The #Teamsters launched what the #union described as "the largest strike against #Amazon in U.S. history" on Thursday morning to protest the e-commerce behemoth's unlawful refusal to bargain with organized drivers and warehouse workers across the country.Workers in New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, and other locations are expected to participate in Thursday's strike, with more facilities prepared to join if Amazon's management doesn't agree to #negotiate contracts with unionized employees.
