Long days as when it comes to waiting. Short days when I think about all I have to get done at work before I go. And yes, I take work with me including Blackberry with work email. I actually relax better because I know what's going on and no surprises when I return to work.
We get so excited when we hit the "double digits" and we can do the "single digit dance". Me, I was so excited today to discover I have less than 600 days to go. I know, it is still so far away, but 599 sounds better than 600. I am slowly counting down.
