I’m cleaning up my to-do lists in preparation to be out for vacation next week. I’m also making my vacation to-do list (I really like to make lists) because I’m not going anywhere — I’m spending the week at home. A lot of people tsk-tsk at me when I say I’m not going anywhere but I think the at-home vacation is underrated.
I enjoy extended time at home to work on projects and relax. I need to update the photos in my picture frames, reorganize some drawers, read a few books, finish a jigsaw puzzle (green frog on a green leaf with a green background – what was I thinking?) and re-watch my favorite movies: The Sandlot and The Maltese Falcon.
I’ll try not to think about work but I will. I get worried when I’m out of the office. If I’m not here “cracking foxy” (Bogart, The Maltese Falcon) on Fred and Eric, there is a possibility they may get distracted. They’ll work on projects they like, instead of what comes first on our group VoiceCon to-do list. So, I’ll rest up on vacation. Then I’ll be good and ready to do some catch-up “cracking foxy” with our VoiceCon chairmen when I return.
Fast forward to 1:20
Here’s to you and some well deserved vacation. Also, it is important to note that you run one of the most well orchestrated events in the country, if not the world, that no doubt has a huge impact on the industry. Enjoy your well deserved “vacation” at home and I agree that “home vacations” are completly under-rated.
I left you a drink on the board at Daves today..Pick it up next time you are there.
