Vacations

(OP)
Based on the traffic in eng-tips this week, I should have taken the week off too.

RE: Vacations

Most of the folks that are out here are burning what's left of their 2011 vacation.

Good luck,
Latexman

RE: Vacations

I heard on the news that something like 50% of the workforce was off the week between xmas and new years.  

Seems like we're nearly back up to full steam around the office now, but everyone is playing catch up.

RE: Vacations

Isn't all of Europe on vacation in August?  It seems like it.  And, coming up soon (1/23/2012), all of China and most of Asia will be on holiday for 1-3 weeks - Chinese New year.

 

Good luck,
Latexman

RE: Vacations

I'll be taking a "vacation" in a week for a hip replacement.  I suspect I'll be up and posting soon, although until I'm off the painkillers, ~ one week, my posts will also be suspect.

Blacksmith,
A buddy had that done, best wishes for your recovery.

 

RE: Vacations

Only engineers "burn" vacation. Normal people crave it.

RE: Vacations

Here they are now paying people for there unused vacations.

RE: Vacations

Thanks for that, Steve.  After reflecting on that harsh realization for a minute, you have absolutely sucked the life out of me for the day!
