One of the company mandates this year was to use 60% of your holiday (vacation) allowance by Sep 30. This was to prevent lots of people wanting to use time off in Q4 and many of them having to be told no because we have a business to run. When this came out, it looked like the world might open up more in Q4. Not sure that will happen, but preparation is important.

I’m taking today and tomorrow off, and that will put me at 66% of holiday for the year.

I struggle with taking time off, so I’m proud that I made it, even with a pandemic and no travel occurring.

Today is a horseback ride with my wife and daughter. Tomorrow are chores, but not too intense ones.
