Starting tomorrow I’m off through the new year. What should I do to really bang it up? I was thinking breakfast out tomorrow seems like the way to go.

12pk of beer and a chair in the sun is how I get into holiday mode.

Take extra long in the shower.

If you’re in California, that’s quite a luxury!

Can’t sleep in first day - the Mrs book cleaners at 8am. I’m thinking wake, shower, greet cleaners, go eat and be leisurely until they’re done.

No no, wake up extra early, then have a short second sleep! It’s one of my favorite luxuries now.

Breakfast out sounds nice.

I’d also add a daytime movie but the magical thing about having time off is that you can do things while other people work, so there’s not a lot of stress.

Think of something you’d always like to do but it’s too busy, too annoying because of the amount of people. That thing isn’t so bad anymore.

I would buy a jigsaw puzzle on the way home from breakfast.

Nothing says vacation like wasting hours poking at a bunch of jumbled bits of cardboard.

Edit: oh, and I would try to catch a cheap matinee movie. I find it luxurious to enjoy a cheap show in a mostly empty theater.

Don’t dig jigsaw but I am charging my (sadly ignored lately) kindle for the break.

Nice. Sitting with a book is another great way I like to tell myself I’m on vacation. Doesn’t even have to be a good book.

Dull Men's Club

Create post

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an “Africa, by Toto” option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
