Well, on the brochure it had a big palm tree and a white, sandy beach, a colorful folding chair and a big pitcher of mojitos. “GO ON VACATION!” the text proclaimed. “ENJOY A FEW DAYS OFF! WORK FROM THE OFFICE FOR JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS NEXT WEEK, AND GET SOME EXTRA WORK DONE DURING THE ‘SLACK’ WEEKS! RELAX! ENJOY!”
Then I actually got into the office this morning, and discovered (a) significant production problems in (b) several key systems, and that (c) nearly all my staff was either on vacation, too, or else was down with the flu.
Hrm. Glad I didn’t get sick, too.
