if I'm on vacation I might as well be dead to you for that period of time. If it's something urgent that needs attention then it is what it is and I get it done. I work to live I don't live to work.

I try to be this way as well. My problem - and I know A LOT of people who have this same problem - is that I have a hard time relaxing if I don't know what's in my inbox. It's a negative by-product of technology, and it sucks. I try to shut out work as much as I can, but I'm still struggling with it.

When my wife and I are on vacation for a week or so, we've come to an agreement that we both spend 10-15 mins each morning checking our email and making sure there aren't any emergencies that pop up. Afterwards, we are both able to relax a lot more easily.
