   No Subject Given

   There is a scene in "Six Strong Guys" (US title) that might be of interest in terms of work-vacations:

   Peace!

   Total wrong attitude

   Try taking a vacation with no cell phone and no Internet connection. It is exhilirating! Only the strong will do this (as I have).
   Too many people believe that they are in control when they can be reached via multiple avenues (Blackberry, IM, phone, email) at any time of the day. These poor souls have yet to discover the true wisdom that *others* are in control of their lives at this point.
   Those of us that have figured out the game know how to be connected when needed, but how to let others manage (through delegation). It requires a person whose entire existence is not centered around his/her job and the status that it brings. Unfortunately, there are still too many of these people.

   Paul,
   
   I most def have to agree with you with one minor change.
   
   I still take the laptop & cellphone along in case I need to make a call or look something up on the net, BUT its for MY use.
   
   I keep the phone & laptop turned off & only power them up " if " needed for MY use, not my employers.
   
   I make it a point NOT to check email or voicemail either when I turn them on.

   WRONG.

   We are not overworked. We're fat and lazy and we all have attention deficit disorder. We want it our way and we want it right now dammit. We drive around in plush gas guzzling sports cars and SUV's, we buy expensive but useless gadgets and we download lots of pr0n and mp3's on our wide pipe 24 hour continuous internet feeds. You want to know overworked, look at the sweat shops in Asia. Basically anyone who is reading this post is NOT overworked. Sorry you might think so. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

   Dear Knight37,
   
   How long did it take you to get down off the cross to write this post?
