In the Hopper

[mortonfox]

Went out for a geocache in Mahwah this afternoon. I actually headed out a little earlier than I would've otherwise because I had to go to a meeting in the afternoon, and because of that, I caught Geofrog at the cache site. It was the Hopper Slave Cemetery cache near a small cemetery next to Ramapo College. The cache wasn't terribly hard to find, even if it wasn't where we started looking. After that, we chatted a little and "discovered" some travel bugs. Nice to meet a fellow geocacher while out on a quick cache dash. Then I got a chicken pizziola footlong at Subway in Ramsey. Going to keep eating this until the novelty wears off. :)

It appears that I'll be on vacation nearly all of December, starting from the 2nd of the month, if I use all my remaining leave days for this year. I may try to take a day or two off in November to balance it out but if not, no problem. There are usually a bunch of events in December that would be nice to attend. Maybe I'll squeeze a trip to Delaware in the middle of that too.

While it's great for you, (I think), you'd think your company would take another look at a policy which essentially forces an employee to be gone an entire month. Unless you actually wanted this, it doesn't seem to benefit anyone.

It benefits me.

It also benefits the company in a way because if my absence causes them to flounder for the whole month then they'll know they need more people or better people.

And lastly, it benefits retail and travel because I don't spend money when I'm at work and I'm sure these sectors will be desperate for business during the recession.

Gotcha.
