I know that they took a week off. In my part of the world it was called "Wake's Week" and they all descended on seaside towns like Blackpool. The mills and factories simply closed for the whole week. On reopening, production restarted as normal with no backlog.
I know it seems churlish to say it but work can arrive for me on a Sunday, while I'm asleep, on a week off, on Christmas Day even. Although I don't need to do it right then and there, I do still have to do it. I am never truly off duty.
I have to manage it myself and at any one time have upwards of a hundred jobs that need constant reassessment and reprioritising based on a complication matrix of interrelated (and opposing) criteria.
While I'd feel wasted if I was just beating horseshoes all day, it would be significantly less complicated.
Are you busy??
