What I meant with 'distasteful' was that someone felt it necessary to justify to the Internet, at large, that dared stop working for more than a second. The post came off as saying "uh, hey, so we kinda took a vacation, but not really! Heres what we worked on!" Setting up a new office and new product planning isn't a vacation. It may not be the furious deathmarch just before a new release, but it's definitely still work.<p>Being apologetic for taking vacation is what sets up our society to look down on those who take time to stop rushing and take time to smell the roses.
