Workaholic Holidays
When I was little, I always said I wanted to have a family business, because it seemed that my parents could always take enough time off when appropriate to go on a proper holiday - they'd just close up the building business for that long!
Of course, I didn't realise that it's actually more to do with what the business is doing than who's doing it.
*sigh*
Hubby's just left for work, for the fourth time this weekend. It's 11pm on Sunday night, and if he doesn't go, a client in South Africa will go without a fix for the problem they've encountered - and then when his dad (Teh Boss) gets to SA to help said client demonstrate our product to a possible new Uber Client, there won't be good things to show. A client is in trouble - enter Super!Hubby!
Is it any wonder he suffers from a stress-related illness?
On Friday, Teh Boss comes back and takes over operations again. On Friday, we leave for our first holiday together in three years. Hopefully, it'll be the first of many. Hopefully, given his favourite holiday activity if we don't leave the state is going in to work, Hubby can decide that travelling and getting some sort of break is less stressful than being at work at midnight on Sunday night.
Hopefully.
