My Life as a Novel

There's this episode of The Office where, in her talking head, Pam said, "I get ten vacation days a year. And I try to hold off taking them for as long as possible. And this year I got to the third week in January."

I empathize. Vacation in 20 days!

We're not doing anything 'fancy'. With gas prices as ridiculous as they are, who can afford to? So we're just going to stay around here. Maybe go camping for a couple of nights. Do some cool stuff around Charleston. And -- most importantly -- not go to work. Can't wait.
