I feel your pain but I got a HUGE surpirse when I returned from vacation. The project that has been making me INSANE hsa been deferred to 2008! Woo hoo!
Me too, FF. July is our busiest time of year (fiscal year close out in gov't, blah, blah, blah) and I have lost 2 of my professional staff. I feel your pain! I try to read when I can, but it's not very often lately.
When things get really crazy I start printing out posts to read on the train or at stop lights. I think people wonder what are those colorful prints with the St. Thomas webcam and the Caribbean Travel & Life cover shots in the left gutter!
The only consolation is the days between now and STJ are ticking off faster. Plus, to add to the work stuff, a friend of ours is interested in joining us which means education of a newbie. I need to send them Rick's bible!
I can only get certain web sites at work and this isn't one of them! It is a good thing too cuz i would never get anything done! I am thus relegated to late night or days off which puts a big hole in a conversation!
Oooooh Flip I'm so glad you brought this up!! I'm in the same situation, my business is keeping me WAY TOO BUSY!! And Marcia you're right, hardly any posts on the weekends! At least that indicates that we all have somewhat of a life, besides this forum.
I try to catch up on Trip Reports when I can't sleep or on the weekends, but here lately I'm way behind. But we were gone most of this past weekend, I feel like I'll never catch up.
FF and all others: Since returning from our trip in June, I too have been working non stop. We are down at least two people at work every week so Bill and I have to take up the slack. Add on to that a sick kid who should be going to summer camp each day! Im hoping August is less stressful, but Im not counting on it. I pop in when I can but dont usually have time to reply to lots of messages I would like to. See ya'll more often in the fall
Same boat here - just returned from a week in Halifax NS and Bar Harbor (BTW interesting similarities between Mt Desert Island (Maine) and St. John - obviously not the weather) and hardly have time to read let alone post...
