How many Vacation days do you have saved up?

so you could literally, say "Boss, im gonna take the next 3 months off. See ya in June!"

How do people do that??? Its literally beyond comprehension to me.

I save it up in case I need it for some sort of medical emergency or something, plus, if I keep on saving it up I can retire early...

That said, my 13 weeks are composed of Vacation, Bonus Leave, Sick Time, and Comp Time...

But yeah, if I had a good enough reason, like the baby we got coming, I could use it all at once if I needed to... They might not like it, but they'd have to deal...

If it were just for the hell of it, and I just needed a break, I think Vacation/Comp/Bonus would at least allow me 6-7 straight weeks..

do those who have these rollover days work for the state? my God thats alot of time.

Im with Bo. This guy uses his time up every year. We can't roll any over and even if I could I wouldn't. Maybe it's because I have kids.

I current have 5 wks off for straight vacation or whenever I want. All the bank holidays and 5 sick days.

I get 5 weeks plus two floaters each year and I use every hour I can each year!!!!

our schedule is pretty good really...we work what we call 9/80....80 hours in 9 days, so we get every Friday off, plus 11 stat holidays. Pretty easy to stretch out every weekend if we want to

Its to cold to do yardwork right now, and we usually don't take but one or two vacations a year. And they are usually short ones because I get bored after 3 days on vacation. I hate golf. My son and I will be taking a few days this year to go visit some historical sites around the area. But I traveled a lot in my younger years (27 different countries, all four oceans, and four continents, so I am fairly content to stay at home now.

I am saving some time to take a trip to the Philippines to meet my wife's family finally. Not really looking forward to it, but its a necessity.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

      We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

      I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
