How do you feel about giving up half of your annual leave in order to stay at work so that you don't fall behind with your responsibilities?If that sounds like a good idea to you, then you're not alone. It's estimated that 19 million holiday days are 'abandoned' every year by British employees because taking a break proves to be more hassle than it's worth. (And I suspect that, included within that figure, are many thousands of days abandoned by workers in their final year before retirement who decide to work through their holidays just to get 'straight' and hand over a tidy ship to their successor.)
And what about all the people who manage to make it onto the plane, but then use technology to keep in touch with their work whilst they're away - checking their emails, and leaving their phones switched on in case of a workplace emergency, even on the beach?
If any of the above sounds like you, check out Workproof your Holiday by Emma Robertson and find out what you can do to restore your work/life balance.
I received the following in Philip Humbert's newsletter this morning:
Paul Vogt sent me these quotes from little kids on the secrets of love an marriage. Isn't here a Bible verse about wisdom coming from the mouths of babes? Enjoy!
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kristen, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -- Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. --Curt, age 7
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. -- Theodore, age 8
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? --Kelvin, age 8
"And the #1 Favorite is........"
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. --Ricky, age 10
Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to travel into space, has just celebrated her 70th birthday. The former textile worker was 26 when she became the fifth Russian cosmonaut to go into the Earth's orbit, back in June 1963. On her return, she was pronounced a 'Hero of the Soviet Union' and has a lunar crater named after her. Apparently, she still dreams of going to Mars...
