Busman’s Holiday

Definition: Busman’s Holiday: a holiday spent in following or observing the practice of one’s usual occupation.

 

Last week company owner Christine and her husband John, went on vacation. Both have worked in surveying for years and are unable to shut off the surveyor mind even while spending a holiday in Maine. So naturally, they went around taking pictures of surveyor paraphernalia.
