I would just like to say, for the record...
I've had three people at work today tell me that I'm not ALLOWED to go on vacation, they need me too much. Which... okay, it's touching, it's nice to be needed. And part of me secretly hopes that they *do* find things a little harder with me gone (since that's what they pay me the big bucks for, after all). BUT. In a smoother-running business, they wouldn't be relying on ONE person for so much, and I'd already have a back-up. (As it is, I started as someone's back-up, upgraded to someone else's minion (I hate paperwork), and now BOTH of them are gone and I'm holding all the loose ends and bits.) I'm so desperate to just get AWAY for a little while, and "getting away" is going to involve enough jet-setting that I've built in a day of post-vacation vacation at home. And there's been so much last-minute "oh, I need to do this before I leave" stuff, and lists, and remembering what to pack and who to notify and what chores to finish that... argh. I just want to be able to SKIP the whole prepping for vacation part and just GO on vacation. The prep's been more stressful than the work and travel put together. >_<
Alright. Done whining now.
Move along, folks, nothing to see here.
