Good morning to all.
Well, long weekend was over.Back to work,back to stressful and busy reality.Time to attend to and do things that are needed to be done at the office.
Busy life again at work.At least I had four days of vacation to enjoy life, rest and relax.Had so much fun with my family and relatives.Try to cooked for the family, play with my niece and nephew and had a quality time with my family and relatives.
As if four days is not enough and still lazy to go back to work lol, but at least I had a great time with family and friends.
How's your long weekend?
Did you get back to work too?
Work mode again.
Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the day everyone.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your days off. It is nice to be able to have a vacation and spend time with our family. We definitely don't feel like going back to work when we have really enjoyed our time off. I'm hoping to save up so that during the spring and summer we can do more fun things for our daughter. For example taking weekend trips.

Yeah I can understand that. Right now I work part time but my husband he works full time and so it's hard to be able to schedule trips because of his schedule. I will soon here be looking for full time work and so I'm sure that our schedule will be busy but hopefully we will still be able to plan a few things this summer.

Oh weekend trips would really be so exciting but we dont have any chance since some of my siblings do have work that time and een some of my friends. I remembered that we used to have weekend trips before but busyness at work now always occupied most of our times. I hope we could even just once in the coming holiday this Christmas.

Hello ardoy0731
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your four days of vacation. So sad in my part I only had two days (Saturday-Sunday) since I'm working in a Korean Company so they allowed us to work last Nov 2. But even two days I enjoyed playing with my nieces and prepared special foods..

But at least you enjoyed weekend with your family. I also have friends who dont observed holidays here since their companies are foreign. I was lucky enough to experience it that I really enjoyed with family, relatives and friends.

Oh yeah! I guess that's the important thing at least I enjoyed my time together with them. It's good to work in company who observed holidays because it will give us more opportunities to mingle with our loved ones and friends in a long holiday. :)

I'm not going back to work till the 21st so I still have couple of weeks left. I still have some personal matters to attend to that was affecting my performance so I decided to extend my already long 'rest' further. The past 5 days (I started my long weekend a day earlier than most) had been a step in the right direction, though there are still a lot of hurdles to overcome. The next couple of weeks should be enough for me to finally sort this all out.

For us, this past weekend wasn't a long weekend, but it was a great weekend. The reason that it was a great weekend is because of the fact that I was able to see most of my aunts and uncles over the weekend at my cousin's wedding. It was great to see them as I know that they are getting older and there is no guarantee of how many more opportunities that we will have to spend time with them.
Then on Sunday I had the opportunity to see the kids that I was fostering during the summer. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with them, but it was great to get to see them none the less.

That would be really great. How's your cousin's wedding? It seems that you really had a great time with your relatives as you have said. Spending quality tome with family even once in a while is really great and bring so much joys and happiness.

Oh yes. I really can't get enough of holidays. I just wish I can spend more quality time with my whole family. Last Friday, my whole family went to park. We just let our kids run around. My son really enjoyed it and of course all of us. I have never remember laughing that hard with the whole family. I am looking forward to Christmas holidays too.

Oh yes I am lookinh forward in the coming Christmas holidays that would really be enjoyable and will have so much fun.
I went to my granny's house to visit last Saturday together with some cousins and aunts. We really had a great time and laugh all time even though we were just chatting with each others. Spending quality time with them brought so much joys and happiness.

Sadly because of the recession and mass unemployment I do not have a job to go to, there are precious few jobs around, so my week is a constant weekend, I try hard to fill it, but with no money coming in, I cannot go out and enjoy socializing or spending money. I spent the weekend, Saturday at the gym and Sunday with my family, I watched television, and filled in forms online.

Sunday will always be for the family.
I hope you could get a job soon and I wish good luck that all your efforts and filling up online will be worth it in the coming days.

I had a long weekend myself a 4 day weekend but only because I had surgery on friday so I took today (Monday) off too for an extra day of recovery. I just relaxed all weekend hung out with family and my boyfriend and pretty much did nothing. It was nice having no stress that I would normally get at my job. But tomorrow morning it is back to work for me and reality and the stress life begins. I hope its an easy day for me tomorrow though as I'm still a bit sore from surgery. Hope your week goes smoothly and not so stressful for you.

That's my hope too, not to be so stressful at work.Busyness would be okay to me but if stress will add to it,well it may result to be so tiring and exhausting to me too.
I hope for your fast recovery and hope everything will turn out fine so you could be back to normal again.

Oh that's what I felt yesterday, that four days of vacation wasn't enough and thinking to get some extension.But if I do that and extend my vacation, for sure my work will suffer somehow and paper work will be overloaded again.
Luckily that I overcome my laziness yesterday even a bit.

Sad to say I wasn't able to get a vacation last All Saint's Day. I was working the whole week and stayed at home on my rest day. I was able to drop by the church and the cemetery to offer prayers and light candles for our departed loved ones and that's about it.
Great thing you were able to take a vacation and spend time with your family.

Oh my sister and brother didn't experienced the long vacation since they are no holidays to their company.My sister is working in a mall so holidays at all.My brother has same problem too.
At least for me, I do work in a private company who observe holidays that declared by the government.

Back to Reality indeed with a bang! My siblings are still in denial this morning, seems like nobody's wanting to wake up this early, or they might have been used to waking up whenever they feel like it. I have some chores around the house, but I scheduled my appointments for tomorrow because I'm also one of those in denial lol! I know I wouldn't be in the mood for biz talks yet.

Me too. Monday is lazy day. Lazy to get up, lazy to start working. I still work during weekend (part time), but I don't have to get up early like weekdays. Weekdays is busy in the morning, breakfast for the kids and prepare their lunch box. I can't wait until Christmas, the kids off from school for 2 weeks. No need to wake early in the morning. That is my problem. I love working, but not waking up early morning.
@ardoy0731 (7308)

Yeah waking up early in the morning is the laziest part of the day.When the weather is cold, I am always a hard to to wake up early lo, alarm clock is not enough to wake me up, usually my mom will wake me up if she knows that I am lazy to get up.

Yeah back to work again.Back to busy and stressful reality again.
Good thing that we don't have work during weekends too so I have time with my family and have time rest/relax.

I am dreading going back into the office tomorrow as it is the weekly meeting time and well things are just not great in our department as we are facing a strong lack of quality business to keep our figures up etc.
I did get a new phone(and spouse) and of course clean and shop so that is always a positive and every weekend is a time to relax and unwind with friends so good for that.

Back to reality it is!
School is back and that means I need to be waking up at 4am again to prepare the kids' food for breakfast and their packed lunch. I did wake up earlier than 4am fearing that i would not be able to wake up in time. And I ended up having a headache. But this did not stop me from Mylotting! I just need to keep myself busy until it is time to fetch my youngest son from school.

Hi,
It so nice waking up at seven in the morning, loafing around the house, doing odd jobs and just being lazy. After a few days of this, I finally got bored and was raring to go back "to reality." It was so good while it lasted but I refused to get used to it, for me, it can be counterproductive so I always welcome the feeling to be back in spite of the easy mode I was in in the past few days.

Yeah it is quite boring too if you stay just at home for couple of days,need to still go out to do other things.I went to some of my friends houses and visited my granny and had a great time with my aunts and cousins.

Hi Ardoy!
Yes, it is back to the office again. Yesterday, I decided to go to the place already to avoid being late for today's work. I slept at my Mom's house and so far , I was able to get to the office on time.
I have so many things to do and just trying to find some time to be on myLot. This is what my supervisor called time management. I call it multi-tasking.
Have a nice day!

Well time management and multitasking is what I have to do during Monday till Wednesday since I have to attend to the needs of our branches and my two bosses.I have to do some monthly reports since October was already ended.Deadlines are here again and hopefully all will be done on time.
