What........you're going on vacation??

People are rude! 

I am going on vacation and you would think that the world has ended.  A factoid that I did not seem to know about was that people who own businesses are NEVER to go on vacation and ALWAYS be available for the general public.....always!  (Thank you for letting me know this)  Just kidding!!!

Do not let me know this!  Do not snap at me when you phone......if you want good customer service (or even want me to return your call when I get back)......do NOT be rude to me! 

Being in business gives one flexibility.  I can choose my vacations, but contrary to some people's belief, I do not just pick and choose at a whim.  I work hard before I go and I work hard when I get back.  Somewhere in there I have to make up the time off and being that I am the only "employee" of the company, it falls to me to do that.  It's probably why many business owners think twice before they take a vacation.......it's a lot of work!

But, thankfully, I have approx 8 more days of fielding phone calls before I leave.  I will not have telephone service when I get there and limited email access, so I can truly say that I will be on vacation.  Something much needed and I am looking forward to it.

And my customers......I am pretty sure they will still be there when I return........if I return.  LOL
