Rando - I am happy that there is someone else like me. Some days I feel like just quitting all together. When I go on vacation, I have to log in and do quick labs and refills. Otherwise, it is a mountain of back up work when I get back. Have you gone on a vacation for more than 2-3 weeks at a time?
Tomastria: I know what you mean. I want to go on a 2 week vacation but I can't. Only way is either join a group, you know the advantages and disadvantages of those, or hire a locums for 2 weeks. I know everyone on here talks about how locums are expensive but maybe they might be worth it to be able to go on a 2 week vacation without wondering if something bad is going back on at the office.
I wish I had a job like my solo optometrist friend. She goes on a weekend vacation once a month and a large 2 weeks vacation every 6 months. Her philosophy, if her office burns down while she is gone, oh well nothing she can do about it. She will worry about it when she gets back.
