Summer is the time for family, and vacations. But sometimes you still have to go to work. But if you're like me, you know that you can count on your impending vacation to get you through your last shift.

1. Can I just leave?

Giphy

I just got here...but I'd so rather be on vacation.

2. Is it time to leave yet?

Giphy

No? Oh...okay. I'll check again in five minutes.

3. I've been here FORVER!

lh3.ggpht.com

I could literally die here.

4. Oh wait, it's only been 5 minutes.

Giphy

Why do I keep doing this to myself?

5. Maybe I'll just glance at the clock...

It has to be closer to time to leave, right?

6. Nope. It's still 5:05.

Giphy

Slowest... Shift... Ever...

7. Only.... three hours and 55 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

Count down powers activate!

8. If the power goes out right now I can leave, right?

Giphy

Snip snip!

9. Maybe they'll send me home early!

Giphy

One can hope.

10. Can I non-fatally injure myself and leave?

Giphy

Hmm... Maybe not.

11. What time is it now?

Maybe it'll be time to leave! I'll check.

12. Only three hours and 50 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

We're doing great guys.

13. Do I have a good playlist ready?

Giphy

It's very important to jam on the trip. More important than this shift probably.

14. Did I pack everything I need?

Giphy

Did I bring the cute sweater I bought from Target? Did I pack enough towels? What about makeup?

15. I'll just repack once I get home...

Giphy

Better safe than sorry!

16. Okay... Maybe I should pay attention to my work now?

We'll see what happens?

17. I can't wait to leave..

Giphy

I just wanna go.

18. Maybe it's time to go now!

Giphy

I'll go check!

19. Nope.

It's been 20 minutes. Why is time stopped??

20. Can't I just go already?

I mean... Am I really necessary?

21. I want to go spend time not here...

Like, please? Send me home.

22. My vacation is gonna be so nice...

Giphy

I can see it now.

23. I can't wait to relax!

Giphy

I runaround here like a chicken with my head cut off half the time, so it'll be great to not do that for a day or two.

24. I hope this place burns down while I'm gone...

Giphy

I mean... I'd get an extended vacation! It's gonna be great.

25. #PermanantVacation?

I could quit and then I'd be stress free for at least two weeks... But money is nice... Maybe I shouldn't quit.

26. If someone dies right now, we could close.

Giphy

Who wants to take one for the team??

27. Who wants to try me, I'll do it for my vacation.

Giphy

#WorthIt

28. I'm SO gonna miss dealing with customers.

Giphy

Not!

29. Can I just get paid to stay away from here?

Dreams can come true sometimes, right?

30. It's time to GO!

Giphy

Time to leave! Vacation is here! No more work talk, I will block your numbers.

Work is a necessary part of life. But vacations are also necessary. Don't forget to relax sometimes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
