I thought a vacation was supposed to be relaxing.
I look forward to my vacation every year.
I don’t always look forward to coming home. This year was totally different. I couldn’t wait for my vacation to be over so I could come home. I knew I was going to get the same question when I went back to work. How was your vacation? Normally I fielded those people, even when I had a great vacation. Did they really believe you when you said you didn’t want to come back? When I said that I meant it. Why would anyone want to give up never needing to cook for yourself. Someone was there to clean your room and change your sheets every morning. Then you come home to all of the work at the house. You also need to go back to work. This year I really was ready to come home and go back to work. I had the vacation from Hell. It all started out when I got to the airport. The airport had the air conditioning so high that I wished I had some kind of jacket to wear. The air quality in the airplane was horrible. I felt like I should be holding my nose half the time. When I finally got to my hotel, I couldn’t figure out how to regulate the HVAC system. As soon as I got into the room, I set the thermostat to seventy. The temperature was comfortable for a while, but halfway through the night, it got so cold I couldn’t get warm. I couldn’t believe how bad the HVAC system was. By the time the week was over, I was ready to leave and come home.
