Stress!Category: work
I'm coming to the rapid conclusion that taking any time off from work is pointless.
The amount of stress you end up in before going - to ensure everything is in a condition to hand over, and when you get back - catching up on all those emails, pretty much nulls any de-stressing you got while on leave.
I have 30 mins before I leave the office to take 2 1/2 weeks off (which will be wonderful and full of memories that will stay with me forever); and I have about 4 hours worth of work to do in that time.
GAAAAHH!!!!!!

I'm not in charge of anything, and I don't have a work e-mail so it is tough to get what you are saying, but I do get it in a way. Where I work we have orders to do so when ever we have a holiday off we then need to get that same amount of work done with one less day.

Two.5 weeks. That is an eternity in computer time, I can feel your stress for you. Then again I am a stresser. Other people I work with seem to barely stress at all.

Wow - news reaches far and wide these days indeed. I know I shouldn't marvel at it but I always do.

Work at 1:30amCategory: work
Cutting over some core systems from one datacentre to another, so I'm here at 1:30 so I can run two scripts, wait 2 hours, run the same two scripts again and then go home.
Why can't they give me remote access for this sort of thing?
Still, gives me time to catch up on some work I didn't do during the week.

Are you serious? That would drive me absolutely fucking mad. That is EXACTLY why they should have given you access privileges. My brother had to wait forever to get VPN access because of security concerns, the auditors monitor that stuff, etc. Clearly they are taking the piss out of you.
