How to use/waste valuable vacation/day off

[shootingstar]

In line sort of with the sequestrestration, but not losing wages, money, is earned vacation/time off and not using it well..

At least not for this Friday. Then again in 3 wks. We have several work benefits. One of them is work longer days and get every 3rd Friday off (or around that work day).
I'm abit cheesed off that I won't be able to do something uber special with my earned day off. Most exciting thing is get my hair cut, go to bakery that normally is not open by the time I finish work and do a bit of cycling of course.

Maybe I'll do some art.... I'm trying to change my attitude. (Even though I already have some art filled canvasses piling up at home.)

I'm putting off bringing in the electrician, since am holding out to understanding that strange power breaker in my panel...

One of the reasons why I decided not to choose another option, which was work even longer days and get every Monday off (4 work day but get paid in full), was that I wasn't sure I could really use every single Monday off well. Then the psychological aspect of working a very long day, turns me off right now. I don't have a long, complex work commute, etc.

We also have the option of 1 telework day --work at home. And there are strict rules on this plus assessment of one's home computer set up (photos required) for ergonomics, Internet access, etc. But my job does not currently lend itself well to working from home each time when I have to meet with people, work with them directly.


I DO have hobbies, passions as mentioned earlier.
