I have a secret, and it's becoming harder and harder to keep it under wraps. When my boss asks me to make sure I'm here for a select number of days in August, I just smile and say "I don't have any plans for a vacation in August..." and quickly change the subject. I know this is how the world works and all, but I can't help feeling guilty. When I leave this office, which hopefully will be sometime in my immediate future, a vast hardship will fall on my department, right in the middle of the summer when everyone has plans to take their vacations and such. I can't wait to get out, but I feel guilty for wanting it so badly.

Hopefully I'll be going to a better place. Soon. Like, in two weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
