Taking it easy before work. And you.
Pat, it is better than the 10 days it could have been.

Ug. I used to work here, 30-35 days straight, during our outages. But, the regulators will no longer allow us to work like that.

I used to work weeks at time without a day off when I worked at NCR. We had some crazy deadlines when I work in the test area.

I didn't mind working like that when I was younger, but I get burned out after a week or so. I don't miss that schedule, although the money was awesome.
