Actual Vacation: Day 1
Dec 30th, 2008 by Liz Bennefeld
Snowy Morning
Even though we had expected some snow, waking up to six inches of it was a surprise. In spite of all, the day must continue, including some necessary chores. Al has headed off to Moorhead to work on the continuing problems with the VHF repeater. Not how he had planned to spend his week’s vacation. Myself, I’m experiencing some guilt over being on vacation, this week, having already heard from two people who needed work done.
If I were out of town during my vacation, rather than relaxing and recuperating here at home, nobody would expect me to come back from vacation to get their work done. Indeed, I am quite sure that everyone will understand and either find an alternative or accommodate my schedule. Still, there is the guilt of not putting the needs of others before one’s own. If I am not able to relax and let go, I will turn off the business e-mail address until the end of the week.
