Finally!  I don’t think I’ve ever been so ready for some time off.  Usually I’m able to leave early on the last day of work before my vacation, but not today.  Had to work late to get everything in order, and even with staying late I need to do some emailing from home tonight to finish up a few things that I didn’t get completed today.

The auditors have left and won’t return until the end of July.  So far everything is going well, but I still have a lot to do when I get back from vacation.  I have to pull backup documentation for a ton of stuff they have identified going back as far as 2001…which means digging through old records that are stored in the attic.  Only bad part about that is that the attic is not air conditioned!  Needless to say, I’ll be doing that in the early morning before it gets too hot.

Meanwhile I won’t be thinking about work (after completing the emails tonight) until July 9th!  All I could think of all the way home was “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty I’m free at last!”
