It's so important ... I may ask work to allow me to work from home for a few days just to sort and review all of my emails! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138787 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:27:43 +0000 Andrea 138787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yeah, isn't that the point of a vacation - so that you can remain unplugged? </p> <p>@MamaMoose: that is so amazing!! unfortunately, no one does my work when i am out.</p> <p>@jessiejo17: you're right, everyone needs a few days off sometimes. :-) </p> <p>@mediagirl: is there someone covering for you? </p> <p>@blushink: i am a department of 1. i hope they hire someone else but i won't hold my breath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138452 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:15:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 138452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily (now) we are 2 in the marketing dept. So someone takes over my workload when I'm gone. :)</p> <p>WIsh it was the same for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138442 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:09:31 +0000 mediagirl 138442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I end up with a mound of emails and work to do when I take a week off. I'm so worried about taking 3 months off, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Ay yi yi.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138373 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:20:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 138373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily usually someone takes over thework for me when I leave, but playing catchup on emails is never fun! I'm sorry! I think vacations are totally worth it though, your mind needs that time to take a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138368 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:17:35 +0000 MamaMoose 138368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super lucky and my colleague/friend who backs me up when I'm out is AMAZING. I usually come back to a completely clean desk. AND, she goes through my email every day that I'm out and deletes out the junk and/or stuff that she has already dealt with. It is so nice to be able to relax when I'm away from the office because I know she is on top of everything. Esp since I have materinity leave to think about!!</p> <p>And don't worry, I do the same for her when she's out : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-138340 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:01:11 +0000 Alivoo01 138340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel ya! I took off two days, and have so many emails that require responses. Those are the worst! When I go on vaca, I try to stay unplugged, but sometimes I just have to periodically check my emails so I can address some of them immediately to keep my catch up load a lil easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-137824 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:52:47 +0000 Andrea 137824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: omg, a few more weeks only ... that is fantastic! haha, i am sure the suite will be fancy!! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-having-to-catch-up-on-work-almost-not-worth-taking-time-off#post-137812 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:48:33 +0000 chopsuey 137812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yes.. just a few more weeks!
