Well, I get 2 weeks a year, but after 9 years at the company, I feel I should have 3, and be more then half way to earning 4, with the feeling that 5 is the cap, and achieved at the 20 year mark. I take the week of the 4th of July off, and try to take a couple of long rides, although this year it rained and I only got out 1 day. I take the second week between Christmas, and New Years, because I hate driving in the Holiday traffic, and we're really slow, so it's just easier. Plus, depending how I do it, I have gotten up to 12 days off, for 1 weeks worth of time, and gotten paid for all but 2 or 3 days. If it falls right, I'll only use 3 or 4 days around one of the Holiday's, and take a day here and there. It also works out to be, 6 months of shitheads and assholes, then a week off, six months, then a week...evens out the stress.
