1337--The frustration of vacations23 Jul, 2009 | Posted by: person63
So at first 5 weeks of vacation for solely the summer sounds really nice. It's tempting since in the United States, one needs to accrue a lot of vacation and is luck to even have four weeks of vacation after decades of being at the same job. However when an entire company or an entire country takes off essentially the same five weeks, it's a problem. And that's what I am facing now.So again today I learned that someone I needed to fix one of my electrodes is gone until after I leave permanently. And this is not the first time I have had to make concessions because of people's vacations. There really are only about 5 people out of a 30-40 person team here, and at that point the other five are struggling to complete anything. And so these extra requirements and limited people to have contact with have been a source of much of my frustration here too.
So now I need to just continue to work around vacations and change my procedure again. Oh well, just a little while longer and then everyone should be back.
