with conviction

today i sent out a group email to the different business unit heads plus my boss and my team. while i have filed for leave more than a week ago, it always helps to advise people that you will disappear for a few days. so i sent out the email with the following claim: "i will be out on a retreat from april 3-5."

it's the only way to ensure utmost respect for my leave. otherwise, if it were just a vacation, there will be less hesitation to break into it for "emergencies".

of course i'm being very vague by saying retreat. basically, as far as i am concerned, it merely means a retreat from the daily madness of city life and of my work. yes, it will be probably be spiritual too in a sense. but for them, it would most likely mean the religious kind of retreat with a program and all. hence, less likely to be disturbed. :-)

buti na sigurado. i know how desperate they can get sometimes...
