"Huston, we have a problem"

MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

That's approximately the correct response to my current situation. Owing unforeseen circumstances (a change in business priorities), a pending business trip was cancelled. I was in a conflicting state of mind: should i be upset that my plans were changed, or should I take the opportunity to rest?

being of (relative) sound mind, I opted for the latter and took 3 days of leave.

That didn't sound so bad, except that 5 minutes after leaving my work place, I realized that I did not have anything planned. and knowing the crowd of people i have in aachen, that amounts to 5 days of complete isolation! :(

I wonder if I could do a rip-van-winkle and sleep the time away..
