Come into work lacking sleep, due to the adrenaline rush caused by the search of foreign accommodation (just so you know, apparently, when traveling to Japan in high season, if you are considering starting to book six months in advance, you are at the LAST MINUTE, my friend) and a toddler who sneaks into your bed at 5 AM in order to spend a whole hour kicking you, scratching you, hugging you and asking to use the bathroom.

Also lack concentration due to aforementioned foreign accommodation stress.

Get an email confirming your manager has officially approved your vacation time.

Lose remaining tidbits of concentration as well as all interest in your current file.
