Off for the Whole Week/Weekend

Last few weeks I (and my teammates) have been working really hard (roughly 15 hours a day) on a project. So my manager said I could take Wednesday and Friday off without using any of my accrued vacation hours. I did work much more than 40 hours a week, but we don't get paid for over-time. So this is really nice that I can use the over-worked hours to substitute for vacation hours.

I slept for quite long last night and this morning, and I did the dishes. I caught up with my personal email, and wrote a few Gather articles that I will be posting shortly. I still need to continue my Black Friday search for a few items on my wish list. But it's really nice to take a break.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
