Quote of the day:

After all, a vacation is not a matter of place or time. We can take a wonderful vacation in spirit, even though we are obliged to stay at home, if we will only drop our burdens from our minds for a while. But no amount of travel will give us rest and recreation if we carry our work and worries with us.”

~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, essay September 1919

 

One of the things that I treasure about having a job VS having a career these days is that I leave the work at work – what is in the office stays in the office.  When I am off, I do not check voice mails or emails and my cohorts only contact me if they are genuinely up against a problem only I can resolve.   I am well aware this is a privilege not everyone has.  Those in sales or climbing the ladder or a small business owner.   For them “work” is pretty much 24/7 and they are devoting time and energy to it even when they are supposedly enjoying down time.   Others have to be constantly available because they are “on call” and they need to work even if it means dropping everything to go in   And some are afraid to take the leave granted to them because it will take them off the track in management’s eyes.
