Do you feel it too? or am I just the one feeling that the vacation for the holidays went by too fast. I am back to work now but I still want more time for vacation? waahh!!! Are you back to work too? Do feel rejuvenated in a way ? or do you feel that the vacation days are not yet sufficient? what are your thoughts on this?

same here .. but the office quite quiet today since lots of people still on vacation (or being pushed to vacation??). Anyway, let us come out with new year resolution to work harder and smarter to improve global economy. :-)

I had a talk with one of my clients couple of days ago, who offer Outsourcing services in a specific field. I learned from him that there are actually few people, who did not take vacation. Rather, they invested their time for Administrative Restructuring including framing policies to combat market meltdown. For me, it has never been a long continued vacation for a week over the past few years. I prefer to follow my normal routine with occasional outdoor travel, or attending parties in the evening. So, I did not feel anything different during these days. And for me, I know I may be rated negative by others, but there is no point stretching the vacation days anymore. It is already good enough to relax and start with a refreshed mind.

Agreed! I'm lucky in that respect. Although my day job is loaded with work but it gives me ample scope to continue my online work. I'm fortunate to have one really nice boss!
Besides, your posts are very energetic, and full of motivation. Might be I'm biased but I have never observed shadow of your age encroaching your posts!!! Happy to read your post.

That's very good for you Nilz, outdoor travel is great too. You must lead a very exciting life. Perhaps it's also due to age (LOL) that I feel now fatigue, and burnt out. My job is so demanding at times that I just want to relax through computer browsing and writing. Writing is a great release for me. Thanks for that vital input.

Well yes I somehow feel the same way as you do. That is the bad side effect of a very long holidays, you tend to think that everything is like that then you realized that the next day is back to work already. The holidays seem to drag time slowly but then back at work times is running wild already and you need to adjust back to it and start to think earning for a living again.
