I need a vacation...

So do I.

I work too much.

I hope I get accepted to UWaterloo, so then I won't have to work as much. Also, I'll be in a more happy state because the mathematics won't be slow and pointless.
 
boohoo, get back to work you losers!
 
I do to, but since I chose, for capitalistic reasons, not to take one this summer (something I will remedy shortly), I chose the second option.
 
Other...I need one MORE! I didn't even realize how long it had been since my last real vacation until I got my check from my previous employer with the payoff of my vacation balance...close to 2 months worth of pay/accumulated vacation time not taken! I can't wait for January and Disney!
 
I've not had a day's holiday since I started real work, it's been over 2 months now and I still wake up in the mornings looking forward to work! In that respect it's better than uni, although the consequences would (arguably) be worse if I just had a hangover and didn't turn up.

How long until the enthusiasm for a new job wears off?
 
Bout 2 and half months mate.
 
Communist.

I have seen a communist, and I concur.

I don't need a holiday, but I'd quite like one anyway.

I haven't had one for like 4 years now... maybe more.

I need to be able to choose both the first and the second options. :smile:
