I consider my lack of vacationing to be a serious problem, something I need to change.
Frankly, one of the causes is that my wife and I don't vacation well together. We want different things from vacations. She travels a lot more than I do. And part of it is a couple of years of contracting, when I feel guilty for not getting paid if I'm not working, even though it's theoretically rolled into my rate.

Personally I value my time with family at about 2X my rack rate. So I resent work interfering with my vacation and not the other way around.
- beat 12y agoOh, it's not that... my spouse and I simply don't like the same kinds of vacations. So mostly, we vacation separately. We're really good at doing a lot of other things together. My favorite vacations are basically road trips, and she hates long car drives. Her favorite vacations are dance workshops, and I'm not a dancer.
