Am I the only one disliking vacations or holidays? I live in Europe and in most countries, this is vacation month when most people can´t be reached, don´t answer email, some stores are closed for weeks, etc.
I realise that for those of you living in the US, two weeks of vacation is a big deal, but in some European countries taking 5-7 weeks off is the norm.
I absolutely hate waiting for people to come back and get back to work since I am working (i.e., doing research) almost every day during vacation time anyway. I do not work for many hours but still, I do SOME work every day, even when I am sitting in a cafe by the sea.
