Lose your cell phone.

I received many emails and calls while I was on vacation. By the time I got back to work, I needed a vacation from my vacation!

Not if he turns it off.

Fortunately that doesn’t happen with us, but…our management often has to call into online meetings and keep in touch when on vacation.

Worked in Operations at a Nuclear power plant. Thank God I didn’t have to deal with crap like this. Of course we worked all our holidays and there was the dreaded NRC Annual Requalification test. But we we’re paid berry berry well for that. :-)

Heh, buy a pair of burners and only give out the number to true friends and family.

Good thing phones give you the number of who is calling, so you can ignore them on vacation.

Nope. Phones are turned off on vacations. We always go far enough away to make it useless for either of us to do anything pertaining to work.
