A Hard Days Night
I just got back from lunch with an old friend who went from working a few more hours a week than I do, to probably double the hours. Sadly, he isn't getting paid much (yet) for his efforts. I feel like I get paid fairly decent, but the thought of working those hours makes me want to weep, it's just not worth it to me. ON the other hand, had I chosen to be a gym teacher I could work about a third of what I do, have the entire summer off, 2 weeks at Christmas, A week in FEbruary, a week in April, a week full of sick days, and still get paid the same. It also breaks my fragile little green heart.

So I come back to my cubical of dreams and putz around a little and stumble upon this little article:

The part that caught my attention was that our dear friend Lindsay Lohan was on vacation when she was allegedly wronged. On Vacation.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but being on vacation is a term reserved for those people whom, up until that particular point, were actually working. When is the last time Lohan actually put in a days work? 2004? Forgive me, but a days worth of fake tanning, snorting coke, avoiding carbs, and getting your clavical bones sharpened while lugging around a $3000 Louis Vuitton bag you probably got for FREE is not considered work no matter how difficult it is for your under-nuriched body to support itself, let alone a bag you can fit into. There is a huge difference from being on vacation and being unemployed. You, my friend, are the latter.
Just because you decided to jet off to some other location that has palm trees and frozen drinks to wash down your coke with and some other hotel rooms for you to stay in doesn't make it a vacation for you, it makes it a Tuesday. When your day already consists of spa treatments, mai-tais before noon, unlimited shopping sprees, and someone else screening your calls, my idea of a vacation would actually be work to you.
