Damn, Zen. Seriously, you can only be held responsible for that for which you have control. All you can do is give it your best. No one should hold you responsible for this, least of all you!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Zen,
I recommend two things:
a) do what you can before you leave
b) LEAVE. And don't check any work related email at all while you are gone. You have stated here - and I recall - that you tend to be a workaholic. Tamp down this tendency have a fucking great vacation. You have had family drama and work weighing on you. Just enjoy yourself.
You can't control weather or time so fuck it.

Plus if it takes eight people to replace you they might realize how much they need you.

I wonder what I could do if I weren't fighting for my rights all the time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you all, I needed to hear all of that! When I leave, I'll have no choice but to be entirely away from work, because I won't be able to access anything from the UK. I'm pretty sure my phone wouldn't work, and even if my laptop would work, I'm not taking it with me. So I'll be forced to take a real total vacation, which is great and I need it badly! But now I'm worried about what a mess I'm going to find when I get back.

You're pretty amazing. I wish you didn't have to fight for your rights all the time.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My day is finally over. The speech contest was totally fun, but boy howdy. I'm exhausted. Just got home and will be going to bed verra soon. And sleeping till whenever the hell I wake up. Woot.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Sounds like an awesome plan, ChiKat. Sleep the sleep of the righteous teacher.

I keep trying to "like" things here.
ChiKat, I "like" that!
