Vacation defense tactics - poll?

This way, everyone is always feeling bad about interrupting my plans, appreciative for how out of the way I go for them, and secure in the knowledge that they have a lawyer who would do anything for them.

Jesus. All my clients and coworkers would be too distracted thinking "She is on vacation ALL THE FUCKING TIME!" to be thinking any of that other crap you seem to think people think about you.
ETA a partner who used to take one two-week vacation a year at a prior firm was talked about constantly behind his back. While the issue was exacerbated because he was really unavailable (rural areas of foreign countries), just the being gone 2 weeks was bad. Even my clients whose companies shut down at the end of the year for a week or two needed us around because inevitably they'd have to come in to finish up conversions or amendments to plans.
