I'm afraid I got you beat, DR Danise--today is the last day of my month long vacation. I haven't been in the office since December 1st.
I'm only sort of looking forward to going back to the routine. Back to the long commute... Also, we will be between projects for a while, so there will be a lot of time to fill up with trying to look busy when there's really nothing to do.
I went out today to buy myself a pair of boots at L.L. Bean. Then I stopped off at Borders to use a 50% off coupon. I bought my next commute read, the new translation of Pasternak's DR. ZHIVAGO. I took a stab at it a few years ago, but it was tough going and I let myself get distracted away. This new translation promises to more enticing according to a few reviews I've read on it.
And it will be interesting to see how many people have e-readers on the trains tomorrow. I'm probably going to appear rather retro holding an actual book.
