Meme Monday: Vacation? What Vacation? Memes

If you're like me, you have someone in the family who believes you need to be going and doing things on vacation. 

I'd say more, but I'd rather not deal with a fight.

For them, the concept of doing nothing is the antithesis of a vacation. Vacations are meant for personal enrichment and seeing places and things that you can't otherwise see, or the vacation days end up being used for appointments or lists of things to do that you can't simply delay for the weekend. 

That ain't me. 

Vacations to me are for doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. Slumming, in other words. Maybe read a little, maybe play games, maybe cook a bit, but otherwise just don't do a single thing.

And I really haven't had one of those in a long while. (Still haven't, if you're wondering whether I'm "on vacation" for posting this Meme Monday.)

So this is for all those people who are skeptical about taking vacation and you end up "working" more than at your regular job.

The family lore is littered with the times
I have been called back into work on
company holidays, such as Christmas or New
Years Day, because... stuff. From Cheezburger.

This too. There have been so many times that
I've come back to far more work than when I left,
and somehow people seem to think this is normal.

Again, why do I go on vacation when I get up earlier thatn
when I go to work? From inkl.

Yep. And usually the arguments are about going
and doing all sorts of things when we should
be relaxing. From Alamy.

And this is what you end up facing when you
"go someplace invigorating" or "go someplace
peaceful". Everybody else goes there too.

And then it's the dreaded "return from
vacation" event, in which you realize you
forgot the PIN to your password vault
(or your passwords; take your pick).
