Half way there

Last Wednesday was my previous day off.  That doesn't sound that bad until you realize that I don't have another day off until the Friday.  An eight day stretch.  Sounds awful, right?  Right.  But, this eight day stretch allows me to have four days off in a row and not take any vacation time.  

One of our friends from high school is getting married in five days, and we are going to Michigan for her wedding.  I already had the weekend off, so in order to have Friday off, I have to work on Wednesday.  This allows me to not use any valuable vacation time.  A small price to pay to save that time.  

In the end, it is worth it.  Eight straight days of work sounds like a lot, and it really is draining, but I am half way through.  Working on the weekend always make the days go quickly.  The slow day is going to be that last day, Thursday.  It will also be a really long day.  I work all day, come home, and fly out three hours later.  At the end of the day, I will land in the Great Lake State at 11:00 post meridian.  Roughly a thirteen hour day.  

It will all be worth it.  I will get to see old friends, family, and go to a Tigers game!  It will be a great weekend, but it will go quickly.
