I’ve done it but the glut of work when you come back isn’t worth it.
One summer I just took every Friday off and that was nice. I could have short trips away or long, lazy weekends without feeling swamped.
It helps that I hate travel.

i haven’t had an honest-to-goodness real vacation… ya know, the whole bit. planning ahead, to a ‘destination’ of some sort, at least a long weekend away, and no work or family obligations… in my entire adult life. the last time i was even out-of-state for more than a single day at a time was a week-long trip to bury my mother. that was almost 20 years ago.

Why so much work when you get back? Don’t other people in the business handle it while you are away?

You’d think that. You really would. But there’s so much stuff where I am apparently the only person who can do it that it just piles up.

What’s wrong with letting it pile up? Can’t you just put in your hours for the day then go home, pile size be damned?

Even just taking time off to sit around and relax is difficult. I can’t remember the last time I did that for more than a “mental health day” because I was completely overwhelmed. Let alone actually traveling the country or world
