Well I've been back at work for a week now and have nearly caught up with everything that wasn't done while I was on holidays. Of course, someone else was delegated to perform my role while I was gone, but it never really works out for many reasons - one of which is because I'm irreplaceable ;-) As I get older it is getting harder to return to work after a break. Quite a few of my friends are the same age as me and are transitioning to retirement. I seem to be the only one still working full time as well as doing a lot of on-call work. As it turns out, once I get back to work and get back into the routine, I don't mind it most of the time. I'm grateful that my job is quite challenging at times, the pay's not too bad and it's interesting. --- 2017-11-17 bradmac@freeshell.org
