Basically I'm wondering how others have managed without T for a long period of time? And has this effected how you have returned to the work with T after the break? |
My T is away for 8 or 9 weeks during Northern Hemisphere summer (only two weeks for Christmas, which is pretty much the minimum holiday.) I found it very difficult this year. I tried to keep a journal, which helped somewhat.
Try to discuss with your T beforehand how the break can become more manageable. If you can be in some kind of contact if necessary, that might help. My T told me that I could txt him - I didn't do that, but it helped knowing that I could. I did write a couple of paper letters and sent them to his office. It did not feel intrusive, since he would have the choice of whether to read his work mail or not, during his holiday.
Returning after the break was easier than I'd thought it would be. It wasn't back to normal immediately, of course, but it did not take that long to get back.
