A tumultuous Tuesday

You know the one thing that always surprises me when I come back from vacation is that the world did not go into some extended pause while I was gone. Where do you start when you return to find a mountain of needs all clamoring to be dealt with first? Why didn't all those, "small items that could wait until I get back.", wait patiently for me to get back? Now I find that they probably should have been done before I even left. So now I have returned after a lovely two week vacation to sit in my office with seen and unseen "things to be done", and I wonder, "Can I just go back on vacation?"
