That's right... I am out of the loop. I have been out of the office and out of the loop on vacation for a week now, and will be heading back to the office tomorrow. It's a very odd feeling, not knowing how many messages are waiting for you, how many emails... are there any resumes to follow up on?

When you go too long without a vacation, you really need one. You need to unplug completely, unwind and relax. You need to take a step back and just be. I felt that I was all over the place before this time out of the loop, and now I intend to go back to the office more focused, energized and ready to jump back into the loop... until my next vacation
