reCharge 2

There are days it doesn’t feel real to have this sort of benefit. But for the second time at the company, I am fortunate enough to take some time off called reCharge.

Every 5 years at the company you get a benefit where you get 30 days of time off plus you can tack on an additional 2 weeks of PTO. In total, I’ll be off for the next 6 weeks. Relaxing, reCharging, and most of all… NOT WORKING.

I can safely say, its needed.

I’m pretty toasty at this point and getting frustrated over many things. I’m hoping I can reset over the next several weeks and forget about the day to day grind. By the time I do return, I hope I’m looking forward to days in the office again.

What am I going to do?

Taking time like this is different for everyone. Some people will spend the entire time travel to some far off land in a once in a lifetime trip. I don’t blame them, its great for them. As someone that has been traveling about 1-2 times a month for the last 6 months, I really don’t want to see another airport any time soon.

My plan is to stay at home. We have a house with a lot of property that needs some TLC. I have more than my share of must do projects and many want to do projects. With the kids back in school, I have less little helpers that I can take on some of the larger things like cutting down some dead trees and spending as much time in the wood shop as possible. It will go by quick, but I cannot wait to get bored with all of the not-working I have to do ;)

See ya on the other side!
