I’m back in the office after a week long break. The board decided there was no reason to have the offices opened for the week after Christmas. So I had an entire week to play video games, read, and just relax at home with the Wife. 

It was wonderful. We spent time with friends, enjoyed some movies/tv on dvd we got for christmas, ate a ton of delicious foods, and the list goes on. 

Now that I’m back in the office, I’ve realized a few things about vacation that I need to take note of for the future.

1. The first day back is that hardest. Don’t get me wrong, being back is great. It’s nice to have a daily routine again and be back in the office with T-Rex and Jeff.  However, when I’m on vacation my sleeping pattern changes, which makes waking up earlier in the morning hard. 

2. Just because I can stay up late on vacation doesn’t mean I need to stay up late on vacation. This is directly responsible for number one in the list. Having a week off and being able to stay up late and stay in bed till later in the morning has messed my sleep pattern up. Hopefully it’ll be back to normal by the weekend. 

Those are my lessons from my wonderful Christmas vacation. Here’s to a New Year in the office and the good times to come.
