Back From My California Vacation – Hard To Get Back To Work (Mind is still on vacation)

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Back from California, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Marin, Gilroy

Got back from my vacation to different parts of California last week, and I am finding it very difficult to get back into the groove of things when it comes to work at the office.  I guess it is because my vacation in California was so relaxing and fun.  While I was there, I didn’t even think about all the stupid things that are happening at my job right now…like slow sales, dumb ass management and the possibility of lay offs.  My wife and I just enjoyed ourselves which is after all the purpose of a vacation, and i guess I did just that.

As the title of this post says, I am currently in Monterey, California enjoying the sun, beach and the tourist attractions like the Monterey Aquarium. I vacationed in California before back in 2007 and 2005, but I visited mainly southern California, this time my wife and I will be concentrating on central and northern California.

I will be writing about my Californian vacation in much more detail in the future on this website.
