First work week

After working Jan 2 and 3, I drove to the summerhouse. I spent a very relaxing long weekend there. We really didn't do much. One day we went to the new mall in town to have lunch. Then we drove to a nature center and joined a guided tour nearby, where there were quite a few birds. It was pretty cold so we didn't stay long. Apart from this we watched sports on TV and solved crossword puzzles. I drove back on the Monday (which also was a holiday).

The first proper work week of the year was only four days but it was tough to get through. We had lots of returns to deal with. Two staff members were on vacation. The new semester starts in about a week and the students have already got their reading lists. We missed the deadline (which is at 1 PM) all days of last week. There was not much we could do to work faster. I was pretty exhausted by Friday afternoon.
