Someone needs to say it:
"That's why it's called 'work' and not 'vacation'".
Also, kicking the habit of thinking that being connected to the Internet, or listening to music, or.... 24x7 is necessary, is a useful thing to do. Having all of those things at your fingertips (or at mine) certainly is nice, but it is hardly necessary.

Some day you will bore your children by telling them the extremely powerful lessons you learned while on this job. Becoming aware of those lessons now, rather than waiting for hindsight to kick in 10 years from now is worthwhile. Think it over.

Good luck,
Blake
