Work Laze

MuppetOverlord

I haven't been shut off from work for more than 2-3 days max since 2007 when I was in Ireland and technology did not allow it.  I'm a workaholic and I typically even check in on my vacations.  I was forbidden under threat of my cell dying a quick death by my husband.

So 11 days without work, came back for 2 days then had the weekend......

I am so not motivated..... I think I need vacations more often!

I need that vacation!  Where did you go/do?

MuppetOverlord

Disney!!! I was like a 5 year old.

You should've seen me go through Muppet 3-D (which I hear they are removing).

My job requires that each employee take at least 5 consecutive days off without out any technology. It makes me feel so much better about taking vacation. It has become part of our corporate culture, so no one expect a reply when they see an out of office message.

Darn, you could have come over.  We would have fed you!   I'm about 15mins from Disney.

My company doesn't care, they encouraged me to. My problem is that they have trouble functioning without me and errors are made. It happened while I was gone.....I have some pretty big messes to clean up that I'm not motivated to address but have to.....  all worth it though.

Same here.

I hear you!  Our honeymoon was our first vacation in 3 years and we were so proud of ourselves that we turned off our phones and just let it be us for a few days.  We checked in at work near the end of the week.  and the best part was coming home to a business still standing with happy employees who kept it running for us.
