Who is taking the week off?

[GA Russell]

Roll call!

I'm taking the week off. Who else?

[vajerzy]

Just 2 days- I like saving my vacation days for spring/summer/fall events.

[Van Basten II]

Same than vajerzy, will go back to work wednesday and thursday.

[Bright Moments]

[AllenLowe]

a few days - I go back to work Wednesday and I'm sure the stress of accumulated work will negate the positive effects of the days off. That's my America.

[paul secor]

I take every week off - one of the very few perks that come with being older.

Winter Break for me: Three weeks of relative bliss

[JSngry]

Might as well be off, nothing is going on, but am not.

[Free For All]

[papsrus]

Not taking time off. Actually working an extra day this week due to others taking time off.

Second year in a row I'll have worked on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve AND New Year's Day. (And for those who recall, I was just coming off the Injured Reserve list heading into the holidays last year.

Oh woe is me. ... quite happy to have a job I love, though. Otherwise I might complain.

this guy. Love the winter and this time of year. I would work extra in the summer if I could get extra winter holidays.

[jazzbo]

I'm taking the week off too. Going to work on January 4.

[Patrick]

Me too. Going to a couple of theater performances with college friends, and generally chilling out (so to speak).

I got New Years Eve, but it's work for the other days. Frankly, now that I'm on my own, I prefer it that way.

[alocispepraluger102]

i have taken the last 4 years and 1 month off and absolutely love it.

(i plan to audit a few calculus classes soon. old folks in ohio can sit in on classes at state universities.)

Congrats! I only made it 2 and a half years. . . . I feel a real need for work. Looking forward to returning to the workforce.

Now I'm just hoping we don't have bad winter storms and I can two-wheel to work safely and dependably.

at age 67, i can return to work without a social security penalty.

i may "consider" working then.

[medjuck]

We closed the office on the 22nd. Going back on the 3rd. HOwever have had a couple of e-mails re: work.

[mellowT]

My company always shuts down between Christmas and New Years. It replaces all the smaller holidays we don't get during the year (MLK, President's, Cesar Chavez, Columbus, Veteran's). Back to work on the 3rd.

I hear that. No Social Security checks for me, so no restriction.

[Neal Pomea]

Gotta do some teleworking, but not so bad that I can't relax everyday and have a lot of fun. And this year I made 'em pay me, whereas last year I was a sucker and fell for their desperate line "it's just a one time deal, so be a good sport!" It's un-rich folks like me who keep alive "noblesse oblige," I guess.

Cool.

Student or teacher?

[kinuta]

I'm off for nine days until Jan 6th. I'll end up watching a ton of films, big surprise.
