    I hear that. I'm kind of a vacation time horder, so I can thankfully afford to take the day. Plus, Wednesday is one of our deadline days, so I'd be expected to do actual work if I went in. Can't have that. ;)

    i do that too...never use many in the spring, save them for the fall and holidays. this year is awesome...3 days of vacation at christmas to get 10 days off.

    Holy cow! :o That's pretty nice!


    Yes it is! Initially, I was going to work in between DeLuna and MT, but then I figured I better rest up for the adventures in MT :D
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    That's pretty awesome, huh? My office is closed between Christmas and New Year's ... 11 days in a row off without using personal vacation time. :mrgreen:

    For as much crap as I have to deal with at this job, I will say the benefits are pretty nice.

    From the sounds of how the this weekend's parties are going to go, you're going to need to be well-rested!

    Yeah, it's pretty nice. I think the company just figured a) most people take those days off and b) no one gets any work done at that time anyway! Also, c) it helps cover up all the BS we have to deal with during the other 50 weeks of the year. :lol:

    Oh, wow. That must have sucked. When I used to be at newspaper companies, we had to work during a lot of holidays, too. But we got double-time, and an extra day off at some point during the year. Plus, they always put out a decent spread for the folks working Thanskgiving and Christmas and whatnot. But generally it sucked.
