Okay, here’s the one thing that I hate coming back from vacation… going back to work! Now, I know you are probably thinking, “of course, who wants to ever go back to work.” The problem isn’t actually going to work, it’s the email! Oh the emails I had waiting… out of control! I had over 200 emails waiting for me. My biggest issue with vacation emails is that I’m never cc’d on the follow up email that someone sends to my backup when they realize that I’m out of the office. I spend half my day trying to find out if the issue that was first presented to me was taken care of or not. Anyway, next time I go on vacation I am going to make sure that I request to be cc’d on any communication with my backup. Hopefully people will remember and coming back from vacation will be just a bit less painful.
Other than my emails, coming back to work hasn’t been so bad. I’m glad that I had a break from the daily grind. Now, let’s just hope this week ends quickly.
