Well, I've only been at my job for a little over 3 months now. About a month ago I took a trip to Australia and I was able to make an agreement with my boss that I would be able to go as long as I didn't take vacation pay for it. Well, the lady in charge of payroll gave me vacation pay for it anyway. Can't go wrong there. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
WTF is a vacation???? Enough said.... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I get 11 days paid vacation time. I haven't been working here a year yet so thats not bad. I plan on taking some vaca this summer too if they ever let me stay in the US long enough to take it.
you magnificant bastard!Quote:

i'm lucky if i get paid for being here
Since I have like 2 days of holidays this year I'm gonna have to make the best of working here during the Summer. I'm going to take a week and come into work wearing shorts and sandals , sporting a cooler and beach chair/umbrella. Then I'll sit around under the florescent lights applying sunscreen making sure to apply sunscreen every couple hours. Have a few Coronas, listen to some Bob Marley and relax....

Hmmm, I just tell my boss that I'm going on vacation, then I go. Sometimes theres a whole bunch of begging and pleading but I just tell him that I need it, ask him to get off the ground and then I leave. I don't even like to think about work when I'm on vacation, but it's like no one does anything when I'm away, so I don't go as often as I would like.
i took a vacation in july of 2000 for my osns birth ... it was great
I just got back from Edistow Island this past weekend. Next month Im going off for a few days to Lake Lure (cant wait to go fishing), and in September taking off for a whole week to take my son to Disney World.
Guess I'm pretty lucky.
Including myself, we have two Techs at this facility. Our vacation schedules are maintained in a Public folder and we can take vacation anytime we want, as long as someone's here for coverage.
My boss doesn't care as it's documented on the calendar so he doesn't look like a fool if someone should inquire as to our whereabouts.
Just got back from vacation a couple of weeks ago. You can read about it here. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin...&f=36&t=001683 Needless to say, I could use another one. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">
Who wants to go places on your vacation? Hassle, deadlines, schedules, people to meet, packing, unpacking, repacking, travelling, checklists, AARGH! That stuff is for when you're being paid to do it.
My boss let's me have pretty much whenever I want off as long as I warn him a few weeks in advance.
I'm going to Hawaii in a month, and living in a beachhouse with a couple fiends. I get the place for free (My sisters Boyfriends' parents love me...and are trying to hook me up with their daughter. heh heh heh). And right after I come back, I'm moving to San Fran (so...technically...I quit). THANK GOD! QUITTING....THE ULTIMATE VACATION!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I get three weeks of vacation a year and I'm cool to take it whenever I want as long as it's not christmas week.
I get 4 weeks paid vacation and 2 weeks paid personal/sick days.
Seeing the other posts, I almost feel bad bringing it up <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
Can you say "government position"? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
Two weeks of vacation, plus six discretionary days (sick, unexpected stuff, etc.) I took last week off and went down to Fort Lauderdale and the Florida Keys with my wife.
20 days plus public holidays. As long as there's only one of in the department I can have when I like. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
