That gave me a chuckle because there are just too many considerations. My secretary took this last week and not this coming week, because I'm going on vacation the week after next and she didn't think it would be a good idea to go right before I do. And we've decided it's not good for her to be away when I am - someone has to talk to my clients, and it's never really worked for her to be gone the week after I come back. Now if we add the layer that she can't be away when my T is - we do seem to be narrowing that window.
One rule of thumb might be for me to go away only when my T is away. I actually half try to do this, but that just didn't work this year.
Honestly, this summer, there was no week that really worked. I'm insanely busy and have been almost without let up for several months. On some level it's ok because I really need to be making more money than I was, and because there is some gratification that comes with realizing that I'm capable of working on a more sustained pressure level - without totally falling apart as I would have a couple of years ago. But enough is enough; I see my summer slipping away as if those of us in New England have even had a summer.
