Even on vacation times, you still need to think and worry about what is going on at work (if you are workaholic) ... or you may even be called for help :) ... I hope there is something like a "brain massage"Sam Khalafnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-85642769444877249762011-07-12T21:34:56.221-04:002011-07-12T21:34:56.221-04:00I hear ya...

I had a project going for about 18 months of nearly constant travel, and I didn't have any "down time" to think (or blog for that matter). <br /><br />Working from home can be great for reflection... cuz you can take a walk over lunch and get some inspiration... but after too long I miss the face-to-face interaction with other geeks.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682106280678054614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-65181153075805947602011-07-12T19:11:26.314-04:002011-07-12T19:11:26.314-04:00@jake

Or I'm an insomniac and my brain is still on. I don't know, I'm tired and can't think.oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-14411208484025808182011-07-12T19:10:07.606-04:002011-07-12T19:10:07.606-04:00@joel

So, kinda the opposite of your problem.<br /><br />You need quiet time to think. Find it any way you can.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661151740067801922noreply@blogger.com
