    Australians have a weird system: They'll work 5 years straight, then take 3 months of vacation, to take a trip around the world.
    Got REALLY drunk with a bunch of them in San Diego one night. And holy hell, can they hold their booze!
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I get almost 6 weeks of vacation per year and you better believe I take every day of it. Sometimes weeks at a time, other times just a day or two here and there. I just used the first two weeks of May as vac. time while my family was here from Dallas.

    I get 2.5 days vacation every month which I can accumulate until I have 2.5 years worth of time banked. If I quit, I get that time paid biweekly until all my time is used up.
    I also get the standard 12 days of sickness every year. I can accumulate my sick time but will only get half of my time paid if I quit or retire.

    Sick days? I haven't called in sick in 16 years.
    And it was about a decade before that one.
    We get some, but they don't bank them. And
    they tend to frown at their use.
