Holiday Checklist

The end of what feels like the shortest week of the year (doesn't it always when you're on holiday?) Here's how I've faired against the list of approved holiday activities from last week:

Sleeping.

If I hadn't at some point this week I'd probably have collapsed and been taken to hospital by now. So yes, done pleanty of this.

Watching daytime TV and despairing at how rubbish it is. But not turning it off.
Not done much of this, and tended to watch the music channels when I did, because everything else was even more rubbish than they usually are (they're sometimes actually quite good, between all the R&B stuff)

Playing computer games.
Yup. Decided to get and play through Warcraft III, since I never did when it came out. That's been quite fun. Done a bit of my usuals too (EVE and City of Heroes)

Browsing the web.
Yup. Well duh!

Going up into the attic and getting childhood toys out and feeling nostalgic.
Not putting the toys away again.
These two grouped together.. didn't do the first so couldn't do the second. Another holiday no doubt, it's a long time since I've played with my old Lego models.

Hanging around half dressed because I don't plan going out that day.
Usually only the hour or so between getting up and lunchtime.

Running to find clothes to complete the half-finished getting dressed operation when a deliveryman calls.
The only delivery-person called when I was still asleep, so I didn't bother getting dressed. I'm sure they're used to people answering the door in dressing-gowns.

Hurling abuse at the phone after hanging up on the cold-callers who phone every day to ask for some bizzare gross mispronunciation of our surname. "Mr She Jakquewesee?" "No. No Jakquewesee live here, sorry"
Only a couple of cold calls, and one was actually for me. I didn't want them to save me money, or give me free stuff, or whatever they were pushing.

Emailing the people at work and resisting the urge to gloat about the fact I'm not there.
Only a couple of times. And no gloating done.

More sleeping. During the day, because I’m such a rebel.
Technically yes, since I didn't get up very early. However I didn't do any of the old-person style having-a-nap-after-lunch type sleeping.

So, a successful week off then. Back to work on Monday to hear the result of the departmental reshuffle. Here's hopeing I still have a job!
