Vacation Update 1

Alexander Turcic · 07-26-2004, 07:48 AM

Hello everyone!

This is my last week of vacation which I am spending in Dubrovnik/Croatia. As you can see from the picture depicting one of my favorite Dubrovnik beaches, I have been having a wonderful time here. I am truly sorry for all of you who had to stay in the office and work this summer!!

Next week I am at work again (yipeedoo...) and back to normal life. Expect some updates here at MR very soon.

Wow, what a nice vacation site!
I'm a little embarrassed to be the "typical" American in the sense that I'm pretty unaware of how things are done in other parts of the world. But isn't there something like a 2-month vacation for many European countries? I'm so jealous!

Looks very nice Alexander. Enjoy what's left of your holiday and don't think about work till you have to!

Hey Bob, here in Oz the typical amount of paid annual leave is 4 weeks per year (more for school teachers, less/nonexistant for casual workers, etc). Not nearly enough IMHO <g>

Looking forward to having you back around Alex! Enjoy the time you have left.

Yah, I'm pretty sick of this American thing: 2 weeks of vacation for a whole year?!? Ludicrous... What I wind up doing is working for 2-3 years and then quitting and having a several month sabbatical before I start another job... I just get so fed up!

My girlfriend always complaining that we Europeans (she is from is Chicago) are not working enough

I hope I can share with you some more impressions and pictures of where I've spent this summer - as soon as I am back at work.
