Back to work

Today is my first day back at work after a long break for the holidays. I took a few days off before Christmas, and a few days after New Years Day. All of the days between Christmas and New Years Day are holidays where I work. So, I ended up being gone for 3 weeks!

Now I don't know that I am rested, but it was great to be off. The days before Christmas were hectic getting ready for the holiday, and preparing for a trip to the Florida Keys. Then there was the trip, 3 Adults, and 5 Boy Scouts at Florida Sea Base for a week. After returning, there was all of the stuff that I normally get done over the Holidays. Add to that some additional responsibilities for my new OA job, and I'm pretty well worn.

It's good to be back to a "normal" routine. I definitely need to get back to eating better. However, I will miss the time with my family. It's nice to just be there. I think when we as a society decided that working away from home was a necessary thing, we lost something. I know that I make more money this way, and that money enables my family to have the things that they "need" and lots of the things that they "want", but I still feel that there should be a better way.

For the most part, I like my job. Every job has it's ups and downs, but on the whole, I enjoy what I do, so until I find that better way, I'll keep my day job.
