First, I have to say that I feel your pain and am sorry for it. Sometimes, you have to just gut through life till it gets better.
I wear my ring. When I conned I tried to remember to take it off. First because it really wears a hole in your hand. Second because I didn't want it hanging in something. Otherwise I never take it off. 32 years. Maybe that is more a testament to the fact we are both too lazy to try and train another companion than get happier. Actually pretty lucky someone will put up with me. Second, leave all your comms at home. You need the time and will be a better employee after the time off. As an owner, while I spent a lot of vacation time working on shit I never expected my employees to. In fact, I used the opportunity to verify documentation was as good as it should be. An organization that can't operate without one person for a week is too fragile and that should be addressed. I am not talking about a one year old startup.
