I haven't taken a vacation - no work on my mind at all - for longer than 1 week since September 2005.. when I started at Nielsen

yeah, I am spoiled fucking rotten when it comes to vacation. I earn 2.5 days per month in leave in the military. That comes to 30 days a year. and you can accumulate up to 60 be for you top out, which is where I am close to now=/ I hear from friends in the civilian world about one or two weeks a year, and can't even imagine.

Another reason I can't wait to get to Australia!

Yeah, then you've got countries like Finland and shit, where they get, like, 20 weeks of vacation per year. Fuck that noise, man.

(And come to think of it, I haven't really been on a non-furcon vacation in a long time, either, though I at least enjoy the shit out of those.)

We get four weeks per year here.

I just paid out one week of holidays because I had three weeks accumulated and I'm probably not going to take that much leave before December, where I'll have accumulated another three weeks. The US way of handling leave sounds shitty and depressing.
