Who takes over when god goes on vacation?

[rurallib]

I was talking with my daughter today about a class only she teaches. Her school has decided to train another teacher on it.
It got me to thinking - god has a pretty unique position. What happens if tyhe big Kahuna decides to shut down the old prayer lines and go out to contemplate some of America's beauty? (We know the big Kahuna would only visit America - Bachmann told me that).

So is there an assistant god? Or if there are three persons in one, does one of the other two take over? And how would they decide? And how do they split so one can go to the Grand Canyon while the other two stay home?
I am truly confused about some of the nuances of the god thing.

2. It's not as easy as you might think.

.
One day the angels are sitting in heaven mumbling to themselves. God was in a very bad
mood. He would fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. They were worried about
him, and at the same time getting fed up with it.
.
Gabriel decided that he must do something, so he approached God cautiously.
.
"What?" God snapped.
.
"My Lord, we are worried about you. You seem a little stressed out."
.
"Oh, really, you think so?" God retorted.
.
Gabriel took the verbal assault in stride. "Have you considered taking a vacation, Lord?"
.
God stops and perks up, "A vacation? No, I hadn't thought of that. Where should I go?"
.
Gabriel stops to ponder this a moment then suggests, "Mercury?"
.
"No, too hot and I don't have any SPF3000 sunblock."
.
Gabriel ponders some more, "Pluto?"
.
God smacks Gabriel on the back of the head, "Other extreme."
.
"Venus?"
.
"No, the atmosphere gives me gas."
.
"Mars?"
.
"No, those little green men give me the willies."
.
"Earth?"
.
God jumps up and is visibly shaken by the suggestion. After a moment or two he finally replies,
"No way. Last time I was there, I got some chick pregnant and they're still talking about it."
