You Know You Need a Vacation If...

All Work and No Play?

"People work all day at the office, work all night at home, and—when they can't stand it anymore—they take a working vacation. If they gain the world and lose their soul in the process, at least it's a tax deduction." –You Know You Need a Vacation If...

Ever dialed 9 for an outside line—from home? Stayed at work five hours late "to avoid rush-hour traffic"? Do you have no idea what your house looks like in daylight?

In You Know You Need a Vacation If... (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, $9.99), Joey Green and Alan Corcoran offer more than 250 telltale signs that you are definitely in need of some downtime. In the spirit of workplace-humor sensations like The Office, Dilbert, and Office Space, You Know You Need a Vacation If... advises cutting loose from work if:

• You were relieved to find a Workaholics Anonymous group that meets in your building.
• You've had a heart-to-heart conversation with the Romanian woman who empties the wastepaper basket in your office at 2 a.m.
• You can ask for No-Doz in thirteen European languages and three Chinese dialects.
• The human resources department gave you a choice between "Lackey," "Flunky," or "Sycophant" for your business cards.

You Know You Need a Vacation If... is a wake-up call for anyone who's ever wondered if they spend a little too much time at work. For the rest of us, it's a hilarious reminder of just how much worse it could be!
