Rain

[Landlocked]

A guy I work with has been on vacation all week and showed up at work today-four days early.

He said they came back early because it was raining.

Sometimes I just don't understand people.

I guess I posted this too late.

"The sky has been filled with clouds mostly since my return on Monday. I think it has rained everyday too. I cannot say that I look at the weather forecasts too much, so I don't know what they say about the future week ahead. They are usually off track for weather on 30-A anyway. Also, some of the prettiest days at the beach are when the sky is overcast, the water calm, with a light rain falling -- just wear your swimsuit. Thunder is rolling around at the moment. Enjoy your visit.

Just in case of rain, search for the thread on Favorite Things to do on a Rainy Day. There are some very relaxing ideas there."

No kidding! I don't care if they were all closed, I'd still be there.

You know the fisherman's code: A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

... and this guy was on vacation? Must be a work-a-holic, or is avoiding inner thoughts by filling time with busy stuff to keep him mentally occupied. He may need a therapist -- seriously.

I think of a therapist as both, and you may be accurate with your statement.

Maybe he just likes his work. Lately, with each day, I become more and more like Peter from Office Space.

Before I know it, I'll be cleaning fish at my desk.

Loved that movie, and I am laughing at the thought of you playing Peter's part.
A former boss of mine used to give people 2 weeks of vacation pay and tell them goodbye once they gave notice, because he knew they would be worthless staying around after making the decision to go. They may even be up to some sabotage. I think he was dead on target. Vacation pay was cheaper than the potential results of someone staying on without care or interest in the business.

Just lurking and thought I'd toss one in (first post):

"Peter, we've noticed you've been missing work a lot lately."
"Oh, I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob"

Love the line, love many others in that flick, love Peter, Lawrence, et al. Any more Office Space fans/lines out there?
