Got back from my vacation to different parts of California last week, and I am finding it very difficult to get back into the groove of things when it comes to work at the office. I guess it is because my vacation in California was so relaxing and fun. While I was there, I didn’t even think about all the stupid things that are happening at my job right now…like slow sales, dumb ass management and the possibility of lay offs. My wife and I just enjoyed ourselves which is after all the purpose of a vacation, and i guess I did just that.

As the title of this post says, I am currently in Monterey, California enjoying the sun, beach and the tourist attractions like the Monterey Aquarium. I vacationed in California before back in 2007 and 2005, but I visited mainly southern California, this time my wife and I will be concentrating on central and northern California.
I will be writing about my Californian vacation in much more detail in the future on this website.

Dave Brook is not a scrooge, but while visiting his friend in another town last week he sure felt like one. The 43-year-old sales manager didn’t like the idea of dining at a fancy steakhouse, where a sirloin can set you back $40. Instead, Brook suggested a less expensive place to his friend. After the dinner there was a feeling of awkwardness between Dave and his friend.

What is true luxury to you?
If you think the luxuries in life is a 42 inch flat-screen TV , a Rolex watch or a leather-upholstered Mercedes…well think again. Lifestyle in other parts of the globe can teach North American’s more about the true luxuries in life. In the current economic conditions, we could learn a few things about luxury from the Finns. Walking down the streets of Helsinki, the capital, you may notice a lack of grand architecture and extravagant homes, and lots of modest cars. Helsinki is a nice city, and it has some gems of modern design, but to the “more is better” brainwashed North American’s that are so use to tall skyscrapers and seeing fancy BMW’s and Mercedes on the streets all the time, Finland might seem a bit dull.

You are not sick from a bug, it is actually way worse.

With the way the economy is right now, and the job market so uncertain I think a lot of people are holding off on making big ticket items. As for myself, there are two products I specifically want to purchase…a 42 inch LCD TV and a computer for my Hackintosh project, but will wait until the company I work for make its decisions on laying off more people…so there is no sense in buying a large screen LCD TV to find out later, the company is letting go employees, that would just not be financially prudent. Even if my company doesn’t let me go, I think I may still hold off until Christmas or early next year to make my big ticket purchases.
