We Don’t Need No Nice Vacation

Remember that we wrote about laptops on beaches and the concept of the ‘End Of In-between’ couple of weeks ago? Well now the NY Times has been inspired to write a story on the trend:

Somewhere on a faraway beach, a cellphone rings, a BlackBerry buzzes, a laptop beeps. Ellen Kapit at the job and on vacation on Long Island. It is an electronic requiem for the American vacation.

“I never go on vacation,” said Ellen Kapit, a real estate agent in Manhattan. “And when I do, I have my computer, my Palm, my e-mail and my phone with me at all times.”

Ms. Kapit’s habits are typical of today’s employees, who check for e-mail messages from work in between parasailing or floating in the hotel pool, consider a long weekend a major excursion and sacrifice vacation days by not taking them.
