I enjoy the company I work for and I take pride in making sure it continues to have a positive image. No one asked me to work, I chose to do so. I choose to take time away from my personal life to make sure things continue to run smoothly. Vlad on many occasions tells me to respect my personal time, but its my choice how to delegate my time.

Seriously, when I'm on vacation, it is for a reason. If my job (as owner) cannot assumed by others, then I've done a poor job of delegating, setting a boundary, divorcing work from pleasure (unless they're synonymous, in which case I probably shouldn't get paid), and creating an environment where vacation time is truly vacation time. Work hard, play hard - I've heard you say it before. Enforcing it is another matter entirely.
