I find that I usually need a vacation after my vacation! Trying to pack so many fun experiences into a couple of weeks is exhausting…

I love that you mentioned asking for help. It’s something we’re not trained to do, but can benefit everyone. It helps develop team bonds and well, it’s fun to play with others! I definitely need to work on asking for help when it’s merited.

This is easier said than done for some. When you are more or less the guy that the business depends on, it is tough to get away in the first place. The work does pile up when you are gone and it can be very hard to deal with the giant pile of work that is there when you get back. I try to take smaller vacations but take more of them. However, with these gas prices, I haven’t gone anyone in months.

Boy oh boy did I experience this recently. I was in Europe for two weeks in June-July and did not do anything work-related while away. It was such a marvelous, eye-opening experience, and I was in four countries in two weeks. Let’s just say coming home to a place with terrible public transportation, no universal health care, minimal vacation days was hard enough, but returning to a cube after two weeks of day after day in the outdoors was difficult. What did I do to beat the blues? I kept looking through my pictures from the trip over and over again, trying to relive the wonderful moments from afar. I also blogged about many of the things I learned while abroad, both for my work and personal blog, so that made me sooort of feel like I was still on vacation. But I’m not sure there’s any real cure for the post-vacay blues….who wants to go back to work after a kick-ass trip? I could have stayed in Europe for a few more months — then maybe I’d be really ready to come home. I was starting to miss ice and air conditioning.

Yes some very good points. Just back from a break and I brought my laptop and mobile. So was it really a break?

By the way – another way to get over the post-vacation blues – ANOTHER HOLIDAY!!
