just in case you still have problems in picturing this , i will say it in a different way : imagine that you have a shitty , meaningless , boring job that you slave for 12 hours a day , six days a week for a whole year under a boss that you absolutely hate in a company that you despise from the bottomless pit of your soul ( some of us do n't have to imagine this ) and after one miserable year , one wasted year that seemed to have no end in sight ... you finally get a vacation .
