I just returned from a wonderful trip to Myrtle Beach, SC…what a great place to go!  You should try it some time.  For families, I recommend Dunes Village Resort.  OK, enough promoting those guys though they definitely deserve it. 

 While at the beach I thought I would “stay on top of things” and bring my work laptop.  At first it seemed like a good thing to do because I could keep up with projects and my colleagues but as the week moved on it almost felt like I never left the workplace.  It was still pretty relaxing but answering emails, interviewing candidates , making calls all makes it seem like your butt is still in the seat.

Now don’t get me wrong, it is a nice luxury to not have to come back to 100+ emails etc but the price you pay is not really being able to “let go”, “let your hair down” and have that “Calgone Take Me Away Moment”.  Also, most clients and candidates appreciate the extra effort, especially when you are on PTO. 

So friend or foe?!?!  Mostly friend…or may be foe….heck I don’t know.
