For the first time in eight months, I’m ready for a vacation. Not that I’m not enjoying the new job (you can only enjoy training so much), but after years of isolation and stress, I’m ready to go somewhere else. Last time, I had no relief from the insanity; this time, I don’t work for the insanity anymore, so that’s a win.

The bad news is no pay for this one. The good news is… vacation.
