         INTRODUCTION

Hello friends of Hindwhale community, I hope we are enjoying the new week.

It is a known fact that when we stay in a particular place with same routine over a long period of time, we begin to get bored and lackadaisical. Same thing when we are working in a particular environment and most times it is the same routines everyday.

Sometimes we need a rest away from the working environment to recuperate mentally and otherwise. The best period to get this rest is termed vacation. This is a period of time we take away from work or a particular routine that we've been doing over a long period of time.

Whenever I hear the word vacation, there is always this feeling of happiness that finally I can get to rest. For my kind of work where I get to work for three months, I usually need a vacation and most times a long one. The teaching profession requires that you put more time in it. We mark, teach, write lesson notes and also research more. So when we do this over and over again, we always need a vacation away from work. Vacation comes after every three to four months and I usually enjoy it.

The recent vacation which was the Christmas vacation was a beautiful one. I enjoyed every bit of it. In fact I had a whole lot of memories during the vacation but one that stands out is this one...

After a vacation from one, I went out with my brothers for mom's birthday. I think mom's birthday came at the right time. We always have her birthday during the vacation. So we used the period to celebrate with her. This one was no different, we enjoyed ourselves and treated mom to a special picnic. The essence of vacations is for us to celebrate, relax, have fun and create memories away from work and I did just that.

Too much of the vacation always reminds me of work. Sometimes I get bored of the vacation cause sometimes I just sleep, and wake up. So most when I step back to work, I get excited to see my colleagues who for some I have not seen in a long while. Sometimes I get to meet new people, so I am always expecting to make new friends whenever I come back from vacation.

My colleagues are also happy to see me. We do miss ourselves when we stay away for a long time. Because at work, we are also a family.

In my opinion I think it is beneficial to have shorter but frequent vacations. When we have shorter but frequent vacations, the work doesn't get tiring and vacations don't get boring. Everything is in the balance, and this for me looks more beneficial.

Less frequent vacations means a worker gets to work for a very long period of time and also go for vacation for a long period. This doesn't feel great for me because there's no balance.

I prefer the shorter and more frequent vacations.

Thanks for going through my post.
