Apparently I am worth 25 camels. I have been officially valued. Personally I think I am worth 250 camels, but I have no reference point on which to compare. Having just returned from a cruise on the Nile (I will endeavour to drop this into the conversation at any available opportunity) I am now completely sold on the concept of holidays! Whether it's the food, the sun, the sleep, the haggling, avoiding being bought for 25 camels or the complete and total impersonation of a couch potatato, all I know is holidays are good! Now I understand why all my patient's back pain miraculously dissapears when they go on holiday! So can I just say to all you workaholics anonymous out their (of which I am one).....it aint all about work...there is life outside the office...the world doesn't collapse without you to look after it, and any messes that do occur can be cleaned up. You are not indispensable and if you were to die tomorrow someone would fill your shoes within a month. So go live a bit. I would highly reccommend a trip to the pyramids. And by the way, if it makes you feel any better about taking a break (understanding the mindset of a workaholic as I do) ....you will be about 10,000 times more productive when you return!!
