I just took off 4 days from work and now I am frantically trying to catch up. Eyes are going blurry ... help ... why is it so difficult to take vacations?

Aww... poor thing!!!! Too bad someone can't do your work for you while you're on vacay!
-
@chopsuey119: thanks dood. heh, no breaks for a SAHM either!!!
-
@Andrea: I get a break when she goes to bed! can't imagine being a mom + having to work!
-
@chopsuey119: they are both tough jobs. how are you? miss our chats!
-
Sometimes. It depends on how long I was off. Sometimes it takes me a good day to get through all the emails.
-
@bluestriped bee: oh i know, the emails are crazy. luckily it was only 4 days so it didn't take me a whole day to go through them.
-
@Andrea: I know! I miss you! I'm good. Just skyping in to small group and shoe shopping online! Just bought 2 pairs for LO. Hunting for more
-
I had today off and my emails and voicemails are piling up.
I didn't actually open my inbox so I will just deal with it tomorrow!
Good luck! -
@chopsuey119: is this your church group?
@autumnlove: thanks, hope you had a good day off and that it won't be too bad tomorrow!!
-
@Andrea: Yep.. intense stuff! Wish we were there.. :T Sucks that Peter travels when they meet.
-
@chopsuey119: he is almost done traveling, though, right?
-
@Andrea: Yes.. just a few more weeks! We're traveling to Warner Robins next week together. HAHA. He reserved a suite for us! 2 rooms and a kitchen/dining area! Curious to see what a suite in Warner Robins looks like...
-
@chopsuey119: omg, a few more weeks only ... that is fantastic! haha, i am sure the suite will be fancy!!
-
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.
-
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!!
And don't worry, I do the same for her when she's out : )
-
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!
-
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....
-
Luckily (now) we are 2 in the marketing dept. So someone takes over my workload when I'm gone.
WIsh it was the same for you.
-
@Alivoo01: yeah, isn't that the point of a vacation - so that you can remain unplugged?
@MamaMoose: that is so amazing!! unfortunately, no one does my work when i am out.
@jessiejo17: you're right, everyone needs a few days off sometimes.
@mediagirl: is there someone covering for you?
@blushink: i am a department of 1. i hope they hire someone else but i won't hold my breath!
-
@Andrea: yeah but I don't want to lose all of the contact information that will have gone through in emails for those three months. 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!
I didn't actually open my inbox so I will just deal with it tomorrow!
