    I haven't taken many days off, just been letting them stack up. Here where I work, we aren't given any "legal holidays" off, we are free to take our time as we wish. Well, I just kept on working. I don't celebrate xmas , or any of that. Turns out, I need a day off. A teammate helped me see that it's possible I'm starting to burn out. I am taking Monday off for a nice 3 day weekend, just in case. I was going to wait until the end of next month (my b-day) and take a week, but this is a nice precaution just to be safe. I'll enjoy a long relaxing weekend. Now I just have to make it through today and tomorrow.

    If it moves, compile it

      Inspired me to apply for a days leave....I too need one

      Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

        Then why not take three? A very long weekend sounds pretty good, from here.

          This is fascinating. I had altogether about 4 months off last year...

                Seems like you just made a compelling argument for regular holidays off.

                  I am kinda in agreement. I'm used to having those days off anyway, and I didn't worry when I didn't. It just kinda snuck up on me.

                    My company doesn't allow us to roll over vacation across the years. Use it or lose it. Forces us to use our vacation, which is actually difficult for me since I don't really travel. Taking 25 days per year finds me taking an excess of 3 day weekends.
