Post-Vacation Hangover and Other Fun Fake Diseases
OK, so we are a day late.
The staff at DotComedy was supposed to post a new rant on Tuesday, but we are still adjusting to life back in the bustling cozy confines of Lake County after a weekend jaunt to the nation's capital.
Vacation in Washington D.C. was a bit of a whirlwind, sightseeing, partaking in some of the finer pleasures the food and beverage industry has to offer (that is if you consider Miller Light and Doritos fine dining options) and just general relaxation.
Ah, but what Frank and Flo Flight Nazi don't tell you as you are being lectured with military precision regarding your seat and tray tables being in the upright position is once you get off the plane and step back into reality, look out!
Since it has been a while since the staff was on an actual, multiple-day vacation, the return part is something we forgot about.
In D.C., we waited in line to see the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. At home on Sunday, we waited in line at Giant Eagle to check out our Food Perks.
In D.C., we visited Arlington National Cemetary and witnessed the awe-inspiring enormity of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. At home, we visited the ATM only to find out we are REALLY going to need those Food Perks.
In D.C., there were no pressing phone calls or deadlines to meet. At home ... hold on, the darn phone is ringing and we only have 10 minutes left to finish this.
The point is, it is not easy to get back into the swing of things. Especially because for two days, the staff kept looking up into the Mentor skyline expecting to see the Washington Monument or maybe a glimpse of The Capitol or one of thousands of flags flapping gently in the sun only to be greeted with an eyeful of an apartment complex with a giant pair of tie-dye swimming trunks flapping violently against the balcony rail.
Not exactly the same scene that gets the heart pumping and the juices flowing now is it?
So, if this is not one of our better efforts, come back Friday and we'll see if we can shake the D.C. hangover and move on to bigger and better and wittier things.
However, we make no promises.
Got a problem with that? Take it up with Frank and Flo.
