Cathy: You're answering more e-mails?? I thought you wanted to impress your clients with your ability to relax! Irving: I'm supposed to appear relaxed, but not TOO relaxed! My comments have to be easygoing, yet professional. I need to write with a casual, laid-back style which still conforms to a certain protocol, which is DIFFERENT FOR EVERY COMPANY I DEAL WITH!! First, the challenge of "dressed-down Friday". Now, "dressed-down vacation communication".

I do that all the time. Business is “Good morning” laid back is “Howdy”. On vacation it’s “Hey dude”, …even to girls.

Even though I have been a workaholic most of my life I have NEVER done this on vacation. I have checked voicemails on my flip phone in case my staff needed questions answered – usually just before going to bed and never during the day or evening when I am having a relaxing, fun time. Oh, I have visited clients while on vacation – usually while the others in the family are shopping (which I dislike) and if the client is nearby. But even that is more of a social visit and not a working one. Irving will burn himself out early if he keeps this up.
It is a beautiful Saturday today – perfect for mowing the lawn which is as close to work as I am going to get today. Enjoy your day too.
