Pre-Vacation Exhaustion-It Apparently Does Exist

Interesting article in the "Washington Post"

leave it to the american media to dream up a medical or psychological diagnosis for everything. do we really need a two page article in the washington post to tell us that we are busy and preoccupied just before going on a holiday?

Gee, I'm sorry I cluttered up the board with information you already know about.

Perhaps I should have asked a "What should I wear?" question.

Dukey, only if you ask about which shoes to pack, which cell phone to buy, which suitcase and whether to check it or not, and which hotel in Paris. Oh yeah, don't forget to post how to book TGV tickets.

Hi Dukey. I believe I have these symptons myself and I've still got 7 weeks before I leave! Glad to know it's not just me who feels this way before a holiday.

I've got four days before I leave to Ireland. I've felt like this for the last several months!!! (since I booked the airfare in February, I believe)

Seriously, I am very glad this is a light week at work. We only get busy the first two weeks of the month due to closing (I'm in accounting). The last two weeks are light and easy. Which is good, cuz I spend my time here, reading posts and dreaming of my flight on Friday!

I'm tired before I go on vacation and then tired (jet-lagged) when I return from vacation; the rest of the time, I'm planning the next vacation. It's no wonder I can't get any work done.
