      True to my conscience, I should take the initiative and responsibility for my team, preparing the up-to-date status and filing to his desk. This would induce his confidence level in the team that his absence would not affect the organization in anyway.

      Very Bad. Would you do it in your big brother's house?

      Wouldn't your heart ask?

        The same as if he's here...he let's me, and all the other groups run things as we see fit with little interaction... However, when I go on leave (military speak for vacation), I might go and speak to the network manager and have him "monitor" certain people in my group whom I feel might be taking advantage of my being gone. :wtf:

          He is not going on a permanent holiday from the company right? Instead of sending a bit-by-bit update like the normal, the thing that is required is consolidate the statuses and at each end of day, we ought to report him. Once he is back, he can review them at leisure. Though perusing a large pile of status reports on return would be a bit of task, that would pay him in terms of confidence boost for him emphasizing that his employees understand their responsibility and his company can manage even if he his little absent and can take off here and there for his personal errands.

            I'm my own boss, but if I went away and left myself in charge and then caught myself misusing company equipment I'd have no option but to issue myself with a very severe reprimand, and perhaps even give myself the sack. My boss is a hard task master, but given the stubborn, argumentative and thoroughly awkward nature of his single employee, I can well understand it. :)

                                        If you were professional, you would continue to do the work that you're paid for and expected to do. You don't pause for a week because you're not supervised. Deadlines don't work that way.

                                          My job here is done. ;P ;P ;P Ironically today Beth is probably working harder than I am (she's visiting a customer site to finish integrating a system this week), while I'm just fiddling around with our soon-to-be-launched new site and listening to Planet Rock on DAB. :cool:
