Help needed

The work I do is kind of seasonal. In other words, we have periods when it gets mentally busy (as in really busy, not really thinky) and other times when there's not so much to do.

We are currently in the not so much to do period.

Essentially, at the moment if I want to do something, I need to pretty much make it up. I suspect it's a bit like being a Management Consultant:

Management Consultant 1: "Hmm, what are we going to do today?"

Management Consultant 2: "I know, let's just make something up because I have no idea what a Management Consultant is."

Management Consultant 3: "Great brainstorming team. Make sure you bill this session as a half-hour block."

You get the drift.

Consequences of having nothing to do:

Boredom

Laziness

Increased blogging

Decreased motivation

Etc.

It's not an enormous surprise then that this is the time most people at my work choose to take leave.



I LOVE leave. So much so that I treasure it like a pirate hoarding gold (as opposed to a gold pirating whore). It builds up slowly, painfully inching it's way up by fractions of a day each week until finally you have enough for a tangible break.

Problem is though, I love it so much, I don't want to use it, because then I WON'T HAVE ANY! Do you see my dilemma!?

Can I get a "Hell Yeah"!?

I'm convinced more and more people are taking less and less leave because they, like me, just love it so much they don't want to see it taken away.

Yes I KNOW. I KNOW that the whole POINT of leave is to actually TAKE it and that saving it up is akin to putting a Federal budget surplus in a "Future Fund", but I can't help it, I'm compulsive.

I need help to break out of this stranglehold by going on holidays NOW (or within the next week or two) and you dear readers (I know you're out there - I have my sources etc.), are going to help me do it.

Where should I go on holidays? Help me. Please.

Please.
