Today is the day that no one who goes on vacation looks forward to – the day you return to work. So after six days of waking up when I want and doing what I please – this morning, I had to get up at five, put my suit on – and head into the office once again.

But the truth is, as I sit here at my desk just before my first day back to work begins – I am not dreading the day ahead in the least.

As I have said countless times, my definition of success is not how much money you make – but whether or not you love what you do. Personally, I love what I do so much that I never missed a day of doing the South Park Digest, never missed a Ring Fever taping – and look forward to going to work at the Department of Buildings – because to me – I would not classify any of those three things as a “job”, because they are all something I enjoy. So when it was time to come back to the office today – I didn’t dread it at all.

Granted, I would love to still be in Colorado enjoying my vacation rather then actually having to work, but the job I do here at the DOB is something I don’t consider to be a “job”. To be honest, when I am sitting behind my desk – I feel as if I am in another room of my house. They say that people “live” in their offices since they spend eight hours a day for five days a week there. So if that is true, then this is one room in my “house” that I don’t mind being in.

And that is why, despite the fact that I did actually have to put on a suit and get up at five o’clock this morning – I don’t mind being here, because I love what I do.

I have to go now – it’s time to punch in.
