Holidays, those joyous times when friends and family all get together to do what they do.  Here I stand on the second to last day of my set of holidays and I have to admit that it was impressively easy to simply cut all of the ties to technology this time. 

It used to be that even on holidays I’d be checking my Email, carrying my phone, hell I used to be famous for being the guy that would come in on my own time, or remote in just to get extra work done.  Oddly this time, it’s different.  I think I checked my Email on the first day of my holidays, but only because a co-worker and friend was helping me to get something set up and I didn’t want to leave him hanging.  After that, the Iphone got disconnected and I haven’t been back since.

This has certain disadvantages however, such as I know how far behind I am in my work… and I was suppose to meet up with a co-worker who flew in from BC last week but being as I didn’t have my Email connected I totally forgot about it until today.  I do feel horrible about that one, but I guess it’s too late to do anything about it really.  Then there's my blogs... those I missed most of all sadly.

So with this I have to wonder, why is it so easy this time?  Is it that I’m just that frustrated with where I work that I actually enjoy my time away?  Or maybe my time away was so enjoyable that I never missed being “connected”.  Maybe it was just my body’s way of saying that over three years of this always being that guy was enough, and it’s finally time for things to change.  I guess in the end, maybe we’ll never know…
