The only thing bad about OUR break...is that because it was likely to be slow, BOTH my boss and the other tech are on vacation for much of that time. Oops...
Luckily one of our work-study students is awesome (I hope they offer him my position, though of course I feel a bit sqeamish about it being easily filled!), and I think he's in that week.
No feeling guilty, Rosie. They'll figure out a plan, I guarantee you.
