Today was my first working day after almost a month vacation. The day started slow but the working rate increased to normal quite quickly, and before lunch my production rate was as strong as before leaving for vacations. It was a good start because usually it takes almost two full days to get the ‘engine’ started.
This conquest leads me to think about some new year resolutions that I made:
fulfill only the strictly mandatory work hours
take more time for myself, my family and my things
enjoy all my vacation days
travel more, during vacation but also by making regular weekend “escapades”
Last week was spent in Rome. First there was a meeting scheduled by the client, but after that there was a full day to visit the city. The concept of visiting a big city like Rome in a single day is quite strange, but time was scarse and we made the best of it.
There was time to visit the Colosseum, the St Peter’s Basilica and the Fontana di Trevi. The weather was lousy with lots of clouds and sometimes heavy rain, but here are some photos.
The expression in the title ends with ” …do as the romans”, but I suggest you don’t! At least in terms of traffic, please don’t do as the romans because they are simply crazy.
The long time since the last post doesn’t mean that the work is taking all my time… it just means that I’m on a well deserved vacations!
The first week was spent near the beach. Although the weather was usually cloudy during the morning, the afternoon always brought a very good hot sun. An excellent weather to enjoy the beach.
After the beach comes some rest, maybe interrupted with an occasional trip to an attraction nearby. I really need the rest… but, essencially it’s time for the family.
