Tomorrow will mark the start of my fourth week spent at home with EV, which will be the longest consecutive amount of time I have not worked since I was seventeen.
I am not on a vacation. Spending time at home with EV is currently my full-time gig.
It could have been a vacation. A sabbatical, if you prefer. I could have asked the execs at RJMetrics if I could take time off from leading the Customer Success team to hang out with my toddler and they would have said yes – not only because of the unlimited vacation policy but because it’s the sort of thing they all value and respect.
I considered that option for an agonizingly long while, because it would be insane to leave a job I enjoyed with a technology that delighted me and a team I personally recruited and loved dearly.
