~How does one go on vacation and not get horribly, awfully behind at work, so behind that you have to work on your days off when you get back to make up for it? Because the working on the day off bit....it sort of cancels out the vacation, you know?
~Seriously, when I went on vacation in August and when I took last week off, I front-loaded, and got some weekly tasks done ahead of time (really not how I usually work) to avoid this. But both times I come back and it's just crazy busy. So I worked all day Friday, and I have to go in tomorrow (and Friday and Mondays are my days off) to finish a newsletter than must be mailed on Tuesday.
~I know my job really doesn't have hours per se....but it's not pastoral emergencies that consume my time, it's week to week office stuff. Much of it I enjoy, but sometimes I wonder if my willingness to take on new things and my slight perfectionist tendencies aren't getting the best of me.
