Kinja'd!!!

Finally taking a weekend off, actually a little more than a weekend. After weeks of only one day off, I’m actually taking three, especially since I have to go back to one day or less off next week. Yeah, I know it’s the middle of the week, but since I work in a 24/7 environment my weekends may not always be Saturday/Sunday. Next month I’ve got the same odd schedule that includes 0300/1200 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Things started out OK, and I began to make a to-do list of all of the things I’d like to accomplish over this period, but the list kept growing and growing. I’ve completed an item or two on the list, but I really don’t have much in the way of energy, and the cold weather isn’t helping matters any. For the last hour or two I’ve been hanging out in front of the computer, watching TV, contemplating a nap and wondering if that old container of guacamole in the fridge is still safe to eat...

I know the feel. Id take a nap, and then do some light exercising after. Usually helps me.

Do the third thing on your list or I will kick you square in the nuts.

You’re welcome for the motivation.

This is what I found about guacamole.............

“Store-bought guacamole that’s unopened should last 1-2 weeks . Once opened, store-bought guacamole usually lasts 1-2 days . Homemade guacamole also usually lasts 1-2 days . You’ll know it’s gone bad when it has a substantial puddle of brown liquid and the layers below the surface have lost their vibrant green hue.”

I’m in trouble then. I think the freshest is 1-2 months old...

I’ll check the labels first - there may be enough preservatives to keep it alive this long.

One or two months is an awfully long time. Not worth the chance.

If you have 3 days off you should head west and volunteer for the 100 acre wood rally. http://www.100aw.org/

A lot of hurry up & wait so no motivation needed. Or not, I’m not going again this year.

Sometimes actually RESTING and decompressing is the most productive thing you can do.
