I don't take vacations Jun 28

I work straight through the year.

Yes Jun 29

Yes, I can.

Doesn’t even have to be luxury to make it possible to unplug. Just a great environment and great company.

True vacation Jun 29

To me, a true vacation is one where I find myself in a different, interesting place -- not one in which I have induced a certain kind of boredom. I have no difficulty working 5 hours a day while on a true vacation.
