as you probably know very well, completely numb unconsciousness passes by instantaneously, so 'comfortably numb' is still the best ride according to science. Enjoy the well-deserved 'temporary retirement,' as some odious kids say.
A long life is the increasingly sophisticated appreciation of the ever finer delineations of ambivalence, and I will feel bereft of your stimulating companionship while simultaneously glad you're getting a little break. Have a good time, know that you're missed and we'll be glad to welcome you back.
This is good news 'cause i'm goin' outta town too and now I won't have a use for the laptop I was gonna take just to keep up with the REBID. Now I can travel light!
Hope it's for fun and R&R. When you get back you should raise your rates. Blame inflation or the imbecile's tariffs, or the fact that you've been toiling away without a raise for seven years now. Liberal guilt. Make the most of it.
Leisure time well deserved!
Best wishes and reeeeee-laxation.

WAY MAH PERCS
I've seen the phrase "micro-retirement", and that enrages *way* more than it ought.
nothing like a cuppa after 7 hrs of micro-death.
We'll have a nice late afternoon micro-dinner...
You run an admirably prolific Substack, I wouldn't even mind if you charged me during your vacation.
Same!
I know how you feel about pubs that charge more often than they publish. Scared straight!
Depends on the publication. Funny Times had to cut back from 12 issues to 10, and I gladly re-upped shortly afterward because it's worth it.
And REBID is, too!
Have a good break!
Have a good 'un, Boss.
Sweet! I'll be taking some leisure time starting Monday, too. Enjoy!
What the hell, I'm following the boss's example and takin' next week off too, GENERAL STRIKE
I've said it before, I'll say it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr6Mu_6wn44
Soak it up, comrade

Have a great time!

Cabin in the woods.
Not my style! Besides, it's been done https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski
I do think you deserve an actual paid vacation, just sayin’
But not by you!
Huh.
This is good news 'cause i'm goin' outta town too and now I won't have a use for the laptop I was gonna take just to keep up with the REBID. Now I can travel light!
Cheers!
Roy returns on the 25th: "So... anything happen while I was gone?"

I'm sorting and cancelling several (other) subscriptions for these very reasons. Blame it on stagflation.
Have an absolutely!
I sincerely hope you have a good time doing whatever you choose to do for those days. We'll just have to make do on our (sob...) own.
p.s. I think it's great that you're taking a whole week off to celebrate our kitty Francesca's birthday!
