You’re going on holiday tomorrow. It’s a special feeling and one that, no matter how hard you try, cannot be ignored \u2013 by you or anyone around you – because you love holidays. Andrew Dickens gives you 17 signs that you’re giving off holiday vibes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. You\u2019ve set five alarms on three separate devices to make sure you don’t miss your flight<\/h3>\n

And asked at least one friend or relative to call you in the morning.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ve spent several hours mentally calculating the amount of underwear you need for the trip<\/h3>\n

This needs to take into account the following factors: loss, ‘accidents’, potentially sweaty activities, fancy nights out that demand clean pants, laundry facilities, the likelihood of finding and buying some really nice undies in a local shop.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ve checked where your passport is – for the 17th time this week<\/h3>\n

And looked into how to get a passport urgently<\/a>. And it’s always been in the same place, despite the fact you know\u00a0<\/em>that dark forces attempting to move it.<\/p>\n

4. Your productivity levels at work have crashed like the Greek economy<\/h3>\n

Really, why would you bother working?<\/p>\n

5. You’re having a massive panic because you haven’t got enough work done to properly relax when you go away<\/h3>\n

That’s why.<\/p>\n

\"office<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ve downloaded six weather apps – and only believe the best\/worst one, depending on your mood<\/h3>\n

Feeling glum? It’s going to rain all week. Feeling happy? Throw in the Factor 50.<\/p>\n

7. You\u2019ve downloaded six currency exchange apps – and only believe the best\/worst one, depending on your mood<\/h3>\n

Feeling glum? It’s going to cost \u00a315 a pint. Feeling happy? Might buy a house while you’re there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. You\u2019ve spent an entire morning saving places on Google Maps, mostly bars<\/h3>\n

Because when you’ve had a drink, it’s easier to point at little yellow stars and little red hearts than type or speak.<\/p>\n

9. You\u2019re mentally preparing to unpack and repack at 10pm, just in case<\/h3>\n

Just like Santa Claus, you’ve made a list and you’re checking it twice.<\/p>\n

10. You\u2019ve searched \u201cwill [insert your airline here] go into administration?\u201d<\/h3>\n

Because you’re paranoid.<\/p>\n

\"airplane<\/p>\n

11. You\u2019ve searched \u201cdo they have Uber in [insert your destination here]?\u201d<\/h3>\n

Because you’re lazy.<\/p>\n

12. You\u2019ve told everyone you know and several people you don\u2019t know that you\u2019re going on holiday tomorrow<\/h3>\n

You know, because they’re really interested in your holiday.<\/p>\n

13. You\u2019ve concocted a complex algorithm based on time, cost, convenience and security to decide how to get from the airport to your hotel<\/h3>\n

And yet no matter what you decide, you’ll still get to the airport and wish there was a driver holding up your name on a sheet of A4 paper.<\/p>\n

14. You’re wearing a floral shirt in the office<\/h3>\n

The weird thing is, you’re going skiing.<\/p>\n

\"jason<\/p>\n

15. You\u2019re trying to work out how to weigh your luggage on your bathroom scales without weighing yourself<\/h3>\n

The easy equation is (YOU+BAG)-YOU=BAG. But depending on how your pre-holiday diet went, you might want to keep YOU an unknown variable. Cue various balancing acts involving chairs and pets.<\/p>\n

16. In your head, you’re saying “so long, suckers” to everyone you meet<\/h3>\n

Please, don’t even try to deny it.<\/p>\n

17. You carry an air of smugness that is inescapable and nauseating for anyone not going on holiday tomorrow<\/h3>\n
