Ninth lesson of academic logic

Holidays for academics look like this:

You pack a suitcase with a third of the books you own or you've borrowed from the library along with your laptop, you drag them where ever you're headed to. Unpack books and laptop at your destination, and let them sit somewhere they can be easily seen. While never touching them once during your stay, they will sit there reminding you of all the work you should do or need to do, and thus create a constant, nagging level of bad conscience. Pack everything again at the end of your vacation, go back home and suffer from more bad conscience.

Conclusion: A "real" holiday is when you're sick, and even though you're sick, you'll have a bad conscience for not doing anything remotely connected to your research.
