1166 VACATION? YES YOU CAN. The Not-So-Obvious Reason Why You Can’t Pull Yourself Away From Your Job. There are three types of people I’d like to speak to in this issue –the graduate entering the real world, the seasoned workaholic, and ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ for credibility’s sake that I can empathize with all three of you. I worked ridiculous hours in public accounting during my 20s. I’ve been in the corporate world for ten years, next to complete workaholics. And I was raised by sleepless entrepreneurial parents. While most of us start out with best the intentions at hand, somewhere along the line our work style begins to change. We become stressed, ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� saying, “All I ever do is work. When can I get a vacation?” I attribute one single cause that gets people to this point of stress: Fear. You see, stress is not the product of your actual physical work. Rather, �������������������������������������������������� �������������������������������������� actually doing the work. If we think to the three types of people I reference above, fear sets in for different reasons. My goal for each of you is to identify the cause of your fear. This ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ workload and take that vacation you deserve. So for the recent graduate: �������������������������������������������� professional job and are ready to take on the world. S U I T S & S N E A K S by Kristin Leigh
