I know this is an old thread John, but hope things still come through your email nevertheless. I’ve been away and I am now catching up on six weeks of your blog.

I suspect that you’ve already returned from your trip and I hope, as one writer said, you came back more recharged than you expected.

You work for a great company (I’m jealous) but even too much of a good thing can be bad. With good food it’s heartburn and with good work it’s burn out.

I like to start my day with a cup of coffee, your blog, and a quick stop at a site that brings a shot of rejuvenation to each of my days. It is called the Daily Good, http://www.dailygood.org/. If you’re not already familiar with it, I hope it may do some of the same for you.

Hope all went well in Guatemala.

Best wishes to all and, as always, many thanks for all the hard work it has taken to keep this blog going.

As much as I enjoy reading the blog, it won’t be a sabbatical if you continue to keep up your ‘Adobe’ blog. Have a real break.
Take a sketch pad and do some drawing – you are pretty good with a pencil from the snippets I’ve seen.

Speaking for those living in the currently freezing and rather frosty UK, I can say that if one is an employee then you usually get around 5 weeks to leave it every year, not to mention Bank holidays and the like. ;-)

Sometimes you have to march to the beat of a different drum…….

Enjoy your well deserved time off John! I agree with a few others that you need to stay true to the sabbatical and leave the blog behind…it is a Adobe related after all and the whole point is to escape and recharge. No worries, we’ll all be here when you get back.

Some time ago I realized that since I don’t have to support a wife and kids, don’t have a mortgage I mights as well step out of the pattern and quit working all day every week. Lets spend that money I didn’t spend on diapers and get lazy :)

Honor your sabbatical. Leave the blog behind.

We all need to step back once and a while.
Have fun!

Another reason to like Adobe. Great people. Thanks for all of your great insights and information John Nack.

Take care, enjoy, be safe and be happy, John. In a couple of years I’ll have earned “long service leave” which is 2 months off. You might just have given me some inspiration to do something a little special and more worthwhile when the time comes, mate!

Please unplug. It will enhance your creativity and give you more of a sense of the artist you are. We will be here when you return.

Don’t worry about the blog. It’ll wait and so will your readers. I’d guess that getting away from stuff like the blog is exactly what’s called for.

A sabbatical every 5 years? I WANNA WORK FOR ADOBE!
