October

[mamadeb]

I'm taking October off from work, as I just told my employers. This is not a vacation - it's the Jewish holidays, which anyone can tell you are *not* restful, and can be very, very intense.

And this year they fall Tuesday/Wednesday, except for Yom Kippur, which falls on a Thursday.

I work Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. And I'm not working erev yom tov (except erev Y"K, because we close early anyway.) So, I'm off the first, third and fourth weeks of the month. We're closed on R"H anyway, which helps. It's going to be so weird coming back after the holidays are over.

I'm actually dreading the holidays, and I know that it's wrong to feel that way.

Why? I mean, yeah, they're wonderful, but they're also a lot of work and time to spend in shul and...

I don't dread them, but they aren't always fun.

I get paid by the hour. No hours? No money.

OK, but you have the time, and enough cushion to make the money side work.

Point well taken.

There are times I'm just. Tired. And so, so, so, SO bored at work.

I have bored times at work, too, which are particularly frustrating when I'm really jazzed to be doing [non-work thing].

I shouldn't whine, though: I'm going to have four weeks in a row with only three workdays.
