Lots of work before vacation

Is is just me or is there more work required of you before you go on vacation than there is normally? It seems like ever since I mentioned I’m going on vacation more and more work is being piled on as it gets closer to me leaving. “I’ll only be gone a week people.. what’s the deal?” Steve seems to think its because some people use their vacations to find new jobs. I have no interest in being a park ranger so yeah.. I’ll be back to work in a week.

Then again, its review “season” so looking my best is a good thing. I don’t mind the extra exposure if it equals more money.
