No commutes for me this week. I took the whole week off because I had Tuesday and Friday off… “three for nine,” pay only three vacation days for nine consecutive days off.

The way our vacation plan works, we get the week from Christmas Eve to New Year’s observed, Memorial, July 4, and Labor Day off. This is in contrast to the federal plan that has lots of Mondays off but no full weeks. In combination with “9/80” schedule with every other Friday off, we will get a few years with 4-day summer holiday weekends, then a few with “three for nine”

We are camping in South Lake Tahoe for the week. I was supposed to go for a long mountain bike ride today. Today would be the minimum crowd day between the holiday and the following weekend. I really wasn’t feeling strong, confident, or eager. Not sure why.
