The beach is closed due to red tide and/or medical waste washing ashore.... |

Frankly, if you're miserable 50 weeks out of 52, you might want to change a thing or two about your life. Maybe that's how you should spend your vacation. |

Simply get a better job. Nj2K International has a few openings for writers and/or web developers - just one more employee would double my company size. Think about it, won't you. *flashes card* |

|
Wow, Nick. Can I have another look? |
|
|
So would a pair of glasses. |
|
|
what does knocking a policeman's helmet off his head fetch these days? people don't do that any more do they? it used to be a national pastime. |
|
|
The first 2 weeks of my latest job that I spent in training. |
|
|
Odd logic. Appreciate your crappy life more by doing something even more crappy. |
|
|
Yep. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of shittiness. |

Now we did this for about 15 years. We called it "holidays with the kids". No more, aaah. |

Hasn't this been baked by various Indian 'Holy Men'? You know, the ones that persuade gullible westerners that if they hand over all their worldly goods then life will all be a lot better and then after two weeks of eating millet, living in an open sewer and wearing clothes made from coconut matting they suddenly realise that it won't. |
|
|
Yeah, or there's people who spend a week's holiday cleaning canals or learning to drive. Will the fun never begin? |
|
|
So should I donate my guitar collection to a child in Sudan? |
|
|
One could also go for a vacation with an extremely unpleasant person, the better to appreciate the unpleasant person they normally spend their time with. This might be a job opening for some people, too. |

cleaning canals? learning to drive? I spent a week in 1995 in a group clearing overgrown trees from Norfolk fenland, for a 'holiday' price of 30 pounds - that included village hall floor accommodation. It was great. Adversity is a real aphrodisiac sometimes; just think of the idiots who wanted to be imprisoned on TV for most of the summer (Big Brother). If that wasn't the baking of this idea, I don't know what was. |

|
I am a child in Sudan in want of a guitar, kapiche? |
|
|
Can those 2 weeks be spent being dead, or, rather, undead? I have heard some things have to be lost before one can really appreciate them. Things to do in Denver when you're dead.... |
