Why are we supposed to think about that? To congratulate you on having some spare time? Or are you proposing some kind of group visit the Vegas, complete with wild animals in the bathroom and surprising face tattoos? I'm certainly up for the former, but I don't think my schedule will allow the latter.
It's such a strange idea, to me at least, I used to be a Soldier, now I work in a place where they let me go home without bothering me for 6-7 weeks. Until I got in to education then in the previous whatever years of work the longest I've ever had off (in a row) would be maybe three weeks once, but mostly two weeks.
If I wasn't me, I'd be jealous of me... only for the time off work thing of course.
There will be a time in the next few weeks when the following things will happen-
1) someone will ask me what I do for a living and I will have to think a moment before coming up with the answer.
2) I will go to work because, because... well I don't know, but I'll go to work during my holiday just to get a coffee and say hi to a few people- that's mad.
My father went to work in a factory when he left school at 15 years of age, he finished work in the same factory when he was 65 years old. My mother worked in the same job for 30 years.
I just think one generation down the track it's a mad mad world, and I quite like it.
Sorry I wont let real life intrude again.
