Oh, do I love those "down days" - I had one yesterday, as a matter of fact. Where I work, the payroll gets pretty tight in January and February when sales are in a slump, so they ask for volunteers to work less hours. I usually have some overtime money stockpiled from the hellish holiday season, so I am more than happy to sit home. I tend to putter around more than relax, though (type A personality, I guess), but just NOT being at work is wonderful. Now, if I just had some 70° weather to go with the time off................I guess we always just want what we don't have as far as weather. The Southerners are longing for snow, and the Northerners are impatient for warmth!
