OK so my vacation is steadily approaching and I, of course like every other human being, can't EFFING wait for it to get here. My vaca is chock full of delicious adventures. To start I will be having a 5 day beach trip with my Hangmaids at the beaches of myrtle (Myrtle Beach for those of you who don't live in NC or SC) I expect things to get rambunctious. After that I have a few lazy days to myself with a cookout possibly int here somewhere followed by a HUGE yard sale on Saturday. Yea I know a yard sale isn't how some of you would spend your vacation but if you wanted/needed cash like I did you would be having one too.
What I really wanted this to be about is the amount of vacations we the "working force" folks get. It's not nearly enough. I think its irresponsible of businesses today to not allow us to operate like the school systems do. If the kids don't have school we shouldn't have to go to work. It's only fair really. Why should I have to scrap and forage my "earned" time just to squeak out a measly one week vacation when school children get like 5 freaking months away from school? This is one of the reasons why I wanted to be a teacher in the first place. I wanted those 3 months in the summer and basically a whole month off for Christmas. Lets face it, Christmas can be overwhelming and getting a month off for it makes up for its pressure. I of course would not do well as a school teacher due to my comedic background (you can't make fun of your students) and my quickness to resort to tears when things get...egregious.
Listen I am not trying to down the system (I guess you could call it that) I just would like to be able to have like a month off from work and be able to take that time without any back lash from HR. It's not too much to ask for is it? Just give me my extra vacation and I promise you I won't complain as much. It's a morale booster people. Who doesn't love vacations? (if you don't then you most certainly aren't human)
This teacher is enjoying her summer vacation on the OBX. The time off throughout the school year is MUCH needed....believe me. The offset is the measly salary we receive for giving our blood, sweat, and tears everyday to tomorrow's future!
