T just wants me to communicate. More and more he is encouraging face to face so not responding to email. He has never given me and kind of limits for weekends/vacations. Personally I feel more comfortable emailing when he is out of the office on something work related. On vacations/family time I try very hard not to email him. He does assure me he reads all of them. I usually put in the subject not urgent or something of that kind so he knows he can wait until he gets back to read it. We have also agreed that if I need a reply I will call... I HATE calling. So... at this point when he goes away I think he expects a certain number of emails from me. I am usually his first session back in the office and he has them read by the time I get there. But, I am honestly starting to wonder if he doesn’t skim the subject lines on vacation and then unless something seems urgent waits to read them until he returns home... but knowing him he may also use them when he gets bored on vacation because he is a work-a-Holic.
