Are You Ready for Vacation?

Summer is here! Traditionally, this is the time for vacation
and getting away from work stress. But how do you know when its time for a
break?

Do your eyes light up at the sight of incoming e-mail?
Do you wear a beeper or carry a cell phone?
Do you come in early or stay late to get more work done?
Can you send a FAX, make a phone call, check email, and eat
lunch all at the same time?
Is coffee your primary source of nutrition?
Is the carpet worn out under your chair?
Do you go to staff meetings just for a break?
Is voice mail your best friend?
Is your e-calendar too full to hold any more appointments?

Home?"

Definitely vacation material! Get a tan then join Workaholics
Anonymous and try to kick the habit.

for vacation leave while there’s still hope.

Get to work and save that sick leave till you need it. You
