If you work from home, it is inevitable that you will get emails or calls relating to your job ALL THE TIME. Now that it is the season to be jolly, of course you would want to have fun with your friends and family. Even though you are in vacation mode, there would be job-related stuff that would be very hard to ignore. For example, while out of the country, you receive an email from your agent requesting you to send an audition for a gig that you have been praying for. Of course, you will spare a bit of your time to record but the problem is, you do not have your portable recording booth with you. Or maybe, you are just not in your studio and a pick-up for a previous project is needed ASAP, what do you do?
