Sometimes, I wish I can be working at a company where I really do get “holidays” through the Christmas/New Years season. Last few years I’ve worked in consumer products; meanwhile it is a much more rewarding experience overall than working at a purely tech/web company, it also obliterates any chance of a real vacation over the break.

Christmas is accompanied by an insane & non-stop rush to get last minute promotions in place, and this year, New Years is compromised by the rush to get materials together for CES. Throw in a seemingly endless amount of family events in between, the holidays turned out to be huge fiascos over the past few years.

I often thought about creating my own little holiday season, perhaps akin to the “Summer of George”. As attractive of an offer as that is, I’ve never been able to pull together a “Summer of Steve”. My last job left me with over hundreds of unused vacations hours when it was all said and done. I doubt this one will be much different.

So, welcome to 2007, and even though my resolution for this year may include the need for a more regulated sleep pattern, somehow I doubt that’ll be possible between ,World of Warcraft, work, and life in general.
