I swear I didn't plan it this way. We reserve vacations in November and December where I work, for the next year. This is the week of my anniversary, so I wanted to be off work to celebrate with my wife.
Unfortunately, her boss is on stress leave and as a result, she is working 12-hour shifts all week to cover for the boss, so our well-laid plans are out the window. I am home all week with nothing to do but play video games 12 hours a day.
And it's Iron Banner week. =D
Honey, I SWEAR, I didn't plan this in advance... but I am SO taking advantage of it. I have a 20-pack of Coke Zero, a week's supply of snacks, and a 15-foot walk to the bathroom from where the PS4 is set up in our house. I'm gonna play until my eyes bleed. 3 characters to Rank 5. Helmets for everyone.
Life. Is. Good.
See you in the Iron Banner. (Bring drinks.)
EDIT: Obviously I need to make one thing clear. My wife has been working this schedule every other week, then staying at home NOT working every other week, for 2 months now; while I have been working for 5 months without pause. So, yeah, it's rough to work in a kitchen for 12 hours straight, but when she's there, she's the boss, nobody tells her what to do, and she can sit down and take 20 when she needs to. Unlike in my job.
So, thanks for feeling sorry for my wife. But I needed a vacation in any case.

I'm in the same boat, except I'm not on vacation. I've already cleared it with the wife that I'll be playing every spare moment that I'm not at work or running errands.
