Wow, my last day of work before vacation. I'm working at home today.
A week ago, I had envisioned that I would just be doing little things and coasting into vacation, instead, I'm under huge pressure today. Still, the good thing is that I was brought in to "make everything all better" and not the cause of the problem.
Oddly enough though, I'm when officially on vacation, I can usually switch off completely and not think about work. I suppose I'm really good at compartmentalizing.
The only bad thing this time is that my boss went out this week on knee surgery, though I think next week she'll be working at home. I find myself wondering if I should be giving out my cell phone number? I never have not in all the time I have a cell phone. I have always trained people that when I'm on vacation I'm on vacation. My boss knows all the different ways to contact me (cell, email, ship) and has only done so when there was truly an emergency.
Still, I find myself wondering this time, and wondering if the people on my project team will be able to show the same restraint?
It will be great to leave tomorrow. Then I'll be able to focus on what's really important, food, alcohol, and looking fabulous at the designated costume events.

Is it too early to have the sign-up sheets for the designated costume events? On the Panama Canal cruise, there were so many people who were disappointed because they did not get a photo with us. So sad.
