What is it with these Ts and August. Is there some unspoken law that all Ts have to leave town at the same time? Is it mass hysteria?
My t always says he can't have anyone cover for him-- because no one he knows is around. Unless I press him really hard, he can't come up with a name. Maybe he's particularly resistant to it-- and actually I don't think anyone else could come into the situation and say much. But in principle, it's important to have someone cover.
Seriously though-- even though they need the break-- there should be a limit on time length of it, I think. Four weeks is too much (IMO). Not when you have people really depending on your consistence and presence.
Mine does keep in touch-- and I hope all of them make some effort to be at least a little available-- to email, letters, or the occasional phone call to their voicemail. The abruptness and completeness of their absence otherwise seems awfully harsh.
