Hello from Spain, where Mrs Roy has graciously allowed me 10 minutes of quality BlackBerry time before confiscating the bloody thing again and hauling me off on yet another shopping expedition. I’d voted for a spot of golf but have been outvoted.
There is no god.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re still at the office. My commiserations – I’ll be back at the salt mine soon enough myself. Regardless of whether or not you have sangria in hand, however, let’s all give a thought to work-life balance this silly season, shall we?
Yes, the recession sucks and we’re all working harder and feeling stressed. But even a mini-break somewhere can recharge the batteries and aid productivity. Think of it as a kind of annual emo-MOT – a ‘must do’ item. I’m certainly feeling better for it (bad family outing decisions notwithstanding).
Keep your work-life equation balanced, is all I’m saying. You, your associates and your significant other(s) will all thank you for it.
PS. Can someone bring back Porgy & Bess? Gotta love the Gershwins. Great musical.
