Even on a day off I do nothing but think about work. Today I ran a bunch of errands, 95% of which were for work and preparing for Valentine's Day. As with many other people in the restaurant business, anyone I date understands that I will not be around for Valentine's Day, my valentine is my job.
I think that every restaurant should be closed for one day during the week. Everyone needs and deserves a break, including the building and equipment. Either way, a day off is a nice break. I always say that I'll go to be early and get up at a decent time when in reality my body is programmed to go to bed around 2 or 3 and wake up around 10 or 11 and then not truly wake up until 1. Maybe next week....
Vacation is tricky as well. Part of me wants to take a few days off and do absolutely nothing. Another part of me wants to take a few days off and go somewhere.... warm.... a beach... and just drink and swim and read and eat. And yet another part of me wants to go home for a few days and just veg out with my mom and my dog and cook for all my family and friends. Ah decisions decisions.... I guess I'll have to decide when I actually get to take some time off, that won't be for a while so I've got some time to decide. For now, it's more of Anthony Bourdain's "Food Porn." Yum.
