Who else is sick of working and can barely force themselves to do anything productive?
Last year I was fine, had a nice long weekend vacation to San Francisco in September, that tided me over for a while. This year, nothing. I just want to sleep for a month.

I hear ya. Sitting at this desk is painful. I want to lay in a hammock all day.

i've actually gotten a second wind and it's amazing. i had my slump between august and late october, and it was a hard pill to swallow.

I had a fortune cookie last week, and my fortune was "Your creativity is about to prosper" or something like that.
I put it in a tiny frame on a shelf in my bathroom, so I see it every morning to be motivated.

mg33,
Aren't you going to Aruba, wait, Maui?
- mg330
Not till February, and we're still undecided. I'd rather go to Aruba, 4 days isn't enough in Oahu to see all I'd want to see. I'd want to spend a day at the north shore watching winter waves and watching surfing.
I'd prefer Aruba and lying on the beach all day the whole time.

oh my, i have that since 1 1/2 yr

totally burned out. senior year end of semester madness. work till 4am sleep till 8am. repeat. occasionally pass out on your powerbook and drool into the keyboard.

yeah, 4 days in aruba is just perfect.
it's only like 3.5hrs flight and really easy. chill and do nothing for 4 days.
- mg330
It's a 6 hour flight from Chicago though.

yeah, but still closer than maui.
