How many Vacation days do you have saved up?

I had a teacher in High School who saved all his days and took his entire final year off. He sold sporting goods for a year while the school paid him, then retired.

He'd put in 26 years at a high risk school though, deserved it.

At the hospital I work at we get PTO time. We have to use this time for sick days, vacation, and times we get called off for low patient census.

Needless to say I never have much time saved up...

Most I've ever had was about two weeks, I then proceeded to take a week off for a trip to Myrtle Beach. Highlight of the trip was getting kicked out of the House of Blues before the band I wanted to see had even taken the stage.

Good times! :D

Since I run my own business, I don't really even keep track of it... I usually take at least two weeks a year off, but even then I take my stuff with me and usually end up working at least some...

The first time I didn't work at least some on a vacation was last summer when we went up to Lake Nantahala... no cell phone service and dial-up internet... didn't do much working there.

Telecom used to be the best about this. Used to work with a guy here who came over from AT&T after 20 years. He had 7 months worth of accrued vacation that they eventually paid him back for instead of him taking a 7 month hiatus before he left.

They cap my hours at 185 or something like that.

I'm with the state...

Our excess vacation (anything over 100 hours I think) rolls over into sick time at the end of the year...

It's still paid time off though...

I think I am currently earning like 11 hours of Vacation per month and 8 hours sick... so that is 228 hours per year if I don't take any time off...

I'm not too sure about sick leave policy needing doctor's notes or anything for an extended leave, but I don't see how they can enforce that if you have a lot of vacation that rolls into sick each year...

      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.
