So, IMHO, new2subaru's post is appropriate in form, content, and category.

It is the way.

Bought myself a birthday present today. I love Port. Bottled in 2023. This spent 60 years in the barrel. Can't wait to enjoy it.

Happy Birthday. I was going to text you to let you know I will be in Idaho again, but then I found out I will be in Twin Falls

Thanks. Yea, twin is 150 miles away. (Boring drive). The falls are neat, if your into that kind of thing. They have real nice park/picnic area.

My wife and I are going up to Stanley Idaho for a couple nights. We are going up thru Idaho city on hwy21. Should be a fun drive. Taking the twin. We are staying at a place right on the Salmon river.

3rd day into the vacation. Didn’t have a vacation for over a 2 yrs, so this is a nice break from work. I even put my iPhone into vacation focus mode, so I don’t get any work message. Not looking forward to taking that off on Tuesday lol

I took 4 days off and came back to 39 emails, 17 missed calls, and a dozen texts on my work phone

Yea, IM and text messages, a far worse alternative.

I took off last 12/20 and haven't been back to work yet. I'm thinking the backlog will be huge. Good thing I'm not going back.

(Typically when I took a week off I would come back to between 750 and 1200 emails depending on whether or not it was a "common" vacation week like spring break or Christmas).

I would punch my computer if I saw that.
