Vacation

The article that really surprised me this week was the New York Times article on vacation in the states. The article touches on Americans and how we deprive ourselves from vacation time for a variety of reasons. The article says that we worry ourselves out of taking too much vacation. This past summer I interned for the Chamber of Commerce. I distinctly remember employees talking about how they hated coming back from vacation to a million emails so often they would keep themselves updated throughout their time away. The employees at the Chamber were very tenacious people who definitely overworked themselves. This is something that worries me as I begin to start thinking about a career after school.
