I've decided that I'm going to try to take a week off from playing the game. I don't want to get burnt out now that things are finally starting to get cool, so its time for a vacation! Here are some of my goals in real life over the next week.

1. Walk 2 to 4 miles a night every night.
2. Read a couple of books. Time to continue my Stephen King reading marathon.
3. Locate and install a couch and a fridge in my new huge office at work. Having a couch in my office will be totally badass.
4. Watch the aproximately 7 years of tv episodes my room mate has downloaded since I started playing FFXI.
5. Hang out with fly honeys.
6. Cook some Hungarian Goulash, and try to get my RL cooking skill up to 50.
7. Do taxes >_<
8. Assist my brother with starting a small internet business. http://www.suitcaseservers.com/index.html
9. Continue auditing a programming language compliers class in preparation for starting my masters degree.
10. Maybe write some code.
11. Locate and consume some waffels.

Thats about all I can think of at the moment. If anyone else is feeling a bit burnt out, post some goals for your vacation in this thread. After a week, hit FFXI again like it called your mother ugly. :)

I've been feeling a break coming on as well Tiny. I recently started a new business as well and i should be spending my nights getting that extra bit of work done... but as it stands right now, my time in Vana'diel is my {escape} from reality. All work and no play will lead to some sort of anti-depressant. :-K

I took a 2 week vacation in January, and thoroughly enjoyed real life so much that I quit the game.
