Are you a veterinarian who checks e-mail and phone messages during the family road trip?
Vacations are a chance to unwind and get away from work for a while. But a new survey in Canada shows the majority of workers don't completely cut ties to their jobs and businesses while they're relaxing at home or frolicking on a sunny beach.
