Vacation: The Impossible Dream

Say what you want about this generation, but I'll tell you one thing, they don't know how to truly take a vacation. Or, maybe it's just pr, or maybe a combination of both.

I always get nervous when an employee goes on vacay and can't unplug. Our rule is, leave a travel memo. Others will pick up the baton, go away, unplug! BUT, not a lot of unplugging going on these days. And that's what makes me nervous, because at some point the people, they crack. And look, I don't want them cracking on me...

When an employee tells me they are sleeping with their crackberry it is cause for MAJOR concern. At that point we're months if not weeks away from a meltdown. Sleep with your husband, your teddy bear, your daydreams, not your mechanical device.

But I digress...

Vacation is meant to be a time away, free from thoughts of kith or kin (as a friend recently told me). It's not meant to be work in a pretty setting. So, young people, go, go and relax. I need you back in one mental piece. Lol.
