I get three weeks of vacation this year instead of two! One has to be taken consecutively and I am taking that one in June to go to Alaska.

The other two can be broken up however, so I am thinking about taking them so I have 10 weeks of three day weekends. Life is good.

I"m going on a cruise the first week of May to the Eastern Caribean. I'm looking for deals now if anyone has a great site let me know. The best deal I"ve found so far is 799 for 7 days, on the norwegian, balcony cabin. Skyauction.com I can't wait.

I get four weeks, 2 floating holidays, birthday, 3 personal days.

About the only thing I can get approved are personal days.

Pay outs suck.... I hate you now.

Depress me like that. I hope you get eaten by a moose, or a polar bear, whatever is most painful.

I do not get much vacation time, either, Tsa`ah. If the hospice needs do not get me, my own business or family responsibility does. I keep promising myself I will get away, but I never seem to make it. :(

I work 15 hours a week, and take 12 credit hours of class.

My life is vacation.

Me vacationing to South Carolina beach again this year. Rent a house, chill on the beach, just relax in general. My mom also wants me to come out and visit her in Italy during her 3 week stay there, blech. Lotta $$$ for some place I already been.


::edited to add::

I get 3 weeks vacation now, I'll start getting 4 weeks after 6 years working for the company (this November). 11 holidays (9 regular, 2 that are near X-mas), 8 sick days. I may get X-mas thru New Years off again, they did it this past year to save money.

2 weeks, 4 road days and 10 sick days...to be taken however I like..

Unfortunately I'm not going anywhere and atleast three of those days will be wasted on the Democratic National Convention in which 93 (one of the highways through the heart of Boston) will be shut down rendering me unable to work without an atleast 2 1/2-3 hour commute one way. ::swears::
