As we head into the home stretch, some things that make me think that we should stay a little longer.
1. Your repeated attempts to extend your leave from work has been denied by your boss
Ok Susan - if you are reading this I have to be fair. Although technically I haven't formally asked you about extending my leave, you and I both know what the answer would have been. I also suspect it would've been followed by a string of four letter words in succession ;)
2. Your countdown app on your IPhone changes from...
Days until you leave work
Days until you are on a plan
Days you have been on vacation
Days left on your vacation
Days until you get back to work
3. You are already planning your next vacation
For us, vacation is something we really look forward to. So if we aren't thinking about where we're going to go next, it makes day to day life very dull. But we have already agreed that we must come back to Paris.
4. You are looking at real estate and job openings in the areas and cities you visit
Perhaps that this is a sign that you just really love the place - but for me I think that its a sign that I just haven't got my fill. Once you cross that mental barrier of "you know, I could live here" then there is something more than just a love affair with the place.
5. You start thinking about the routing problems that await you at work
Can QoS markings and transport protocol selection really solve the world's problems when in the end everything is really best effort? *sigh* I cannot escape the geekdom that awaits.
