I love my job. I really do.
But I can’t help it. I’m depressed. I’m questioning my profession, my direction, my life. Why, you ask?
Well, because it’s Tuesday and we just had a 3 day weekend. 3 days…enough to escape from the day to day stress of the working world, not quite enough to replenish the old batteries.
And it’s all because I had a great weekend.
I got away to Cape Cod to visit my mom who was jamming out to Michael Buble in the kitchen when we arrived. My friends/family ate George’s Pizza, sat by the fire, played with dogs, went running in the cold, played Risk, ate chowder, watched Jaws, went to the Hot Stove. And then the one and only Meg Reilly and I capped it off with an excellent afternoon of ONEin3 blog planning, which was really more about a couple rounds at The Littlest Bar,
Everything was peachy until I had to roust myself out of bed and venture out into 15 degree weather to get on the Red Line for work. Ouch.
Now I’m thinking about how to make vacation my profession. Maybe I’ll try to be the next George Plimpton and write about feeble attempts to compete with actual professionals. Or maybe I can be one of those guys who eats spicy food for a living on the food network. Maybe someone will decide they really want to give me a million dollars, although that kinda didn’t work for that comedian.
I guess I’m just stuck daydreaming and planning for my next 3 day weekend, which doesn’t come until Memorial Day. BLAST!!!!
Anyone in the same boat?
PS. I know, I know, this is pathetic. Suck it up Devin!!!
For the record: as I held control of North America with substantial armies on Greenland, Central AM, and Alaska; AND had a RISK pair… that game was mine when we quit.
You don’t get Patriot’s Day?
You are pathetic….suck it up.
Yea what about Patriot’s day?? Are you pathetic AND incapable of reading a calendar?
Ryan, we all know the key to Risk is holding Australasia. Papua New Guinea…I was building my Empire.
I was about to break through Alaska from Kamchatka and destroy your North American stronghold. You know this, I know this. We quit because you wanted to go to bed.
I don’t get Patriots’ Day. Buncha brutes over here. I’ll probably take a vacation day, because Patriots’ Day is the best day of the year in Boston.
Is that your way of saying you’re going to be running a few miles of Boston with me? Maybe we could carry a ONEin3 banner?
I’ll definitely do that.
Cup of Chowder and a pint of finest Ale at the Squire was the perfect Sunday lunch after a great weekend. Devin, I cursed your name when I sat down in my suit and tie for my first meeting at 8 am Monday morning!

You left out our rousing game of Trivial Pursuit and Grey’s Anatomy marathon. Also great aspects of the weekend.
I think I napped through Grey’s Anatomy.
Also, for those of you who don’t know her, my mom is the best.
I’m in the same, small, bathtub-sized, American class 14.6 boat as you Devin. For a visual:
