having available vacation time again!

yes!

yep...and I wasted no time...I used some vacation today

if i didn't have today off as a holiday....i would've as well.


i'm looking forward to a <cough cough> sick day in the next couple of weeks.

I'll be using another in a few weeks for me and the girlie's anniversary

Not going back until the 9th.

i don't get my vacation time until the 7th.

this is the first year I get three paid weeks off, plus 5 sick/personal days, plus 10 paid holidays. Gonna be an awesome year.

I go back tomorrow, and the Pratt people and Corcoran people do as well which is fucking great because I NEED to talk to them.

Do you guys lose your vacation at the end of the year? I'm glad that California allows us to roll our earned vacation time over.

15 vacation days
5 personal days
4 sick days
11 recognized work holidays
in 2006

YES!

i don't lose it. they'd force me to take it.

however, i've never been quite that lucky.
i plan my vacation days up pretty quickly.

i get 2 weeks of vacation
2 weeks of sick/personal time.


can't wait until next year when i get another week! woot!

I do, but I know some people who get to roll it...it just depends here...and my company sucks...soooo

but it wasn't an issue this year since I used plenty of vacation during '05

Mine rolls over up to 30 days. I get 25 days paid vacation plus 10 holidays per year.

yes indeedee!

10 vacation days
10 sick days (that can be used semi-liberally -- i'll be using these for when wife gives birth later this month)
8.5 holidays
3 floating holidays

then 5 more vacation days next year.

This year I get bumped up to 4 wks of vacation with the option of converting our 53rd week check/bonus into vacation time.
Nice this is I'll be able to cash all that out when I leave in March.

$$$$$

wow. where on earth do you work (two guns)

a newspaper in Flint, MI

I'm part time (24 hours per week, usually in 3 days), but since I've been there five years I get 3 weeks of vacation (9 days) and one week of sick time (3 days).

My anniversary date is June, so I have 8 days of vacation to use before D-Day. That may not seem like a whole lot, but when you only work 3 days a week it's damn nice.

Being in the newspaper bidness, I don't get too many holidays. Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Christmas & New Year's.

so did i.
i regret nothing.

Luckily had off today, or if I didn't my boss didn't call, so in any event yeah. The bad thing is I've been staying up until 4am, so tonight it is now 3am and I cannot sleep and I have to wake up in ohhhhh....4 hours. Its gonna be a long one.

Damn- some of you guys get half the year off, seems like.

2 weeks here, with no sick days. My job sucks.

Mine don't roll over until July... still have 9 vaca days left though. Then, seeing as this is my 10th year there, I get a sabbatical.

Starting, July 1: 25 vacation, 2 optional, 3 summer, accumulated 60 sick. 9 paid holidays in 2006. It pays to be lazy.

same here. except, i get thanksgiving too.

A global technology consulting firm (I'd rather not say the company).

Also, there are times between projects where I am unstaffed (eg now) where I am not using vacation days, but am not on a day-to-day project. These times consist of me usually watching tv and movies, and occasionally doing some computer trainings, all from my apartment. I also have to check my voicemail and email regularly. It's not so bad.
