5 Stages of a vacation..
Guys, i had an extended weekend. Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday..4 days of vacation feels like heaven. But now i have reached the end of vacation. This gave me an idea to write a blog on stages of a vacation. I am sure you will be able to relate these stages with your vacation as well..read on
1) Planning for the vacation.
The 1st stage usually starts well before the vacs.For some its months before,for some its weeks before,for some its days before.But we all plan what we will do on a vac. Most commonly asked questions in office are "What's the prograaaam?" or "How do you plan to spend the vac?" and common answers are "Am going out of town" or "Catching up with relatives/friends" etc. etc..Dont believe them.Nothing of this is ever going to happen :)
2)Vacs started..now what??
This is the 2nd stage.Most of the time is spent in staring blankly at the ceiling..lazing around..eating,watching TV.You forget all the promises you made to your relatives/friends/GF. GF?? God save you if you don't keep promises made to your GF ;)
3) Lets do something!!
Reality dawns upon you. You pick your lazy ass off the couch and think about something productive.At this stage you start tapping your foot and move out of your home, go shopping,catch up with friends,watch movies.Basically at this stage you kinda go overboard and make up for the lost time.This is the most hectic stage of the vacation.
4)Forget your work...
At the above 3 stages you keep thinking about work and even discuss work with friends.But at this stage you forget all your work related stress and attain a kinda MOKSH.."Free from desire",free from all moh-maya..You kind of slip into coma..This is the most dangerous stage.
5) Vacs over....
One fine day you wake up to realize your vacs are over and you should get back to work.But you woke up late,water tap running dry,where's my briefcase,oh no shirt's not ironed...gosh you missed the company bus..reached office late,elevator not working..have to take the stairs, puff puff where's my cube.
You settle down on at desk and try to login.."Invalid Password"
#@%^&##..Damn i forgot all my passwords..RIP
