Mungler Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Life is a routine whichever way you slice and dice it. Work has always been the frog and the frying pan - stick a frog in a hot frying pan and it jumps out, but stick a frog in a frying pan and turn the heat up on it slowly and it will stay there and get cooked. A holiday is a break from the routine, you relax, switch off and enjoy. When it's over, it's back to the hot frying pan and catching up on 10 days works that has sat and festered. Deep joy.

Dunkield Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Coming back to work used to be, people sitting arround a bit admiring your tan (if you had one) looking at your holiday photos and listening to any stories you had to tell. Now it just seems to be, 'all this happened when you were away enjoying yourself' and by the way you have 650 emails to plough through some need answers, some don't, you will have work out which ones are which - oh and welcome back . .

You are not alone. Almost no point in going away, for that very reason. Sigh, indeed. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_seagrave Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have to agree. A fortnight off, and it's forgotten within the first 4 hours of being a back in the chair. What did someone once say about "working to live"? Seems they had it right. <sigh> LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oh Mung, I feel for you mate ! I am in Spain at the moment. It is 36 degrees over here with little breeze. Just been down to the beach bar...plenty to see down there...if you catch my drift. I am still reading my emails on my Blackberry but in this heat I am struggling to even hit the "delete" button.

death from below Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 No holiday for me and the family this year......even after a few days off, as already stated, its like coming back to a punishment for having the cheek to take a break. Hence I am part way into my escape route out of my job.....18 years and not looking at making it 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Now it just seems to be, 'all this happened when you were away enjoying yourself' and by the way you have 650 emails to plough through some need answers, some don't, you will have work out which ones are which - oh and welcome back . .

bob300w Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 You should all consider yourselves lucky, I don't get any holidays at all, not even bank holidays, you just don't appreciate the stress involved, it's hell having to go out every day with the dog and a gun, sometimes twice a day, or three if I go foxing at night. Tomorrow it will be on the rape, Wednesday clay shooting, Thursday on laid wheat, Friday rifle on rabbits or fox, I just don't know how much more that I can take.
