Kristen,

WOW..that thought never occurred to me! It’s actually rude to others isn’t it? I can’t believe this thought never crossed my mind.

Anyway, it’s going well. My daughter goes off to college in the morning and I work. When she’s home, we chill. It’s all good. Thanks,

Totally agree – it’s so hard to unplug. But I’ve seen my inability to put work on the back-burner during vacation take a toll on my relationship with family and friends. It sent the signal that I found my work to be more important than them…or their work…They were willing to take time off to spend time with me and it seemed I wouldn’t do the same.

Hope you’re enjoying your trip and have successfully unplugged!

I can say that may be I am a workaholic, because, I use to work approximately 18 hrs. a day including weekends. This has created a lot of family problem to me. Now, I think an workaholic also needs a vacation.

Enjoy your visit to the holy land! If there’s one place you can be fully immersed in what’s going on around you, Israel is it! Check out Moshiko on Ben Yehuda St., they’ve got the most amazing falafel. At least for a few minutes, your hands will be sticky enough that you won’t want to touch your computer.

Hi Neal,

My husband is the same way…He can’t justify a vacation because he has too much work to do.. What he dosen’t realize is the fact that batteries and people need to be recharged in order to keep working.

Stress is a killer.

There was never a person whose dying wish was to have worked more.

Enjoy your trip!
