ToeJam - I am so glad that you posted this for me to see. I first saw the subject title and I thought to read it. And then I read what you posted and it sounds pretty much like me.

I seem to let a lot of time go by before considering that I need a vacation. People would tell me that I need to take one. I feel like I need one; but then what would I do? I'm single and have very limited amount of friends and my family is split up. Of course people will ask me 'when will I take a vacation?' And when I do, 'where will you go?'

Since I'm single, where would I go on my vacation? I don't have much money and traveling is so expensive. I could go and visit my sister but that has no appeal to me. She's bogged down with two kids. That wouldn't be very exciting for me. So I would just stay home and twiddle my thumbs. Of course, if I had just a week off, then it would go by like nothing. And then when I go back to work, I would have to answer all kinds of questions that I would have no answer to because I was not there when it happened. And then my job would not have been done right. Someone else has to do my job while I'm gone. And then I'd wonder if the person who replaces me would find something wrong that I did, or would think that I wouldn't be needed that much because business is slow.
