My Cup of Tea

A few of my thoughts from time to time...

Name:
Location: Santa Monica, California, United States

My main focus right now is trying to keep a balance in life. I'm currently working full time and getting a PhD, but I also believe life isn't supposed to be all work and no play. Thus, I keep from going over the edge by escaping to the great outdoors just about every weekend. Activities that keep me sane are: Mountaineering, trail running, backpacking, rock climbing, snowboarding, kayaking, mountain biking, scuba diving. My 3-yr plan: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Elbrus, Ushba, Ama Dablam. Recent successes: Denali, the CA 14ers, Rainier, Pico de Orizaba, Ixta, Aconcagua

Will Work for...Vacation Time!?!

My boyfriend and I were trying to plan some trips around the holidays I get from work and found that we already have things planned for each and every one of them --even Columbus Day, which isn't even a real holiday. Oh, I don't really care if you think it's a "real holiday" or not...I'll take off any day my company wants to give me!

So, for the next year we look pretty jam packed with excitement! In early October we'll be going to Mexico for 5 days to climb Pico de Orizaba, Thanksgiving I'll will be a road trip with my family while he's visiting his family in France, Christmas we'll be going to Argentina for 3 weeks to climb Aconcagua, and May will be Jamaica for a few days.

I wonder how I'll get the days off from work for Jamaica when I will have used up all my vacation days for Aconcagua. Hmm...maybe they won't notice? Well, if they do I may just have to take unpaid days off or just quit my job and get a better one! Anyone looking for a market researcher for the Outdoor Industry? : )
