Guilt-free vacation – Day 1

Well, it’s day 1 of my “guilt free vacation” and things are going pretty good so far.

There are several work-related items on my list that are causing some guilt. I am debating whether or not I delegate them or do them myself.

My colleagues have been very supportive. We have agreed on a special SMS code to my non-work cell phone should I need to look for something which should all but eliminate the need to watch for the little red blackberry blinking led.

So on a scale of 0 = no guilt, no work thoughts, to 10 = high guilt, significant work thoughts, I give today about a 6.

Day 1: Saturday 4 – have to log into work email to delegate some “critical” tasks at some point before Monday morning.
Day 2: Sunday  
Day 3: Monday  
Day 4: Tuesday  
Day 5: Wednesday  
Day 6: Thursday  
Day 7: Friday  
Day 8: Saturday  
Day 9: Sunday  

I did get all of my hotel, rental car and activities reservations done though! Actually leaving town for vacation should really help in the “now work” categories.

Off to run some errands!
