Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
^ yep. I used to take off for 3 months to spend time in Indonesia/Singapore/Thailand in the winter. Last one was 2008 before the market crashed. As of now, between works, pets, and few freeloading family members, we are just glad if we could do a datenight once a month.
I'm lucky if I get one a year. God damn car business.

I work about 1-2 day/week average for my friend's friend's company, and I am self employed. Going out to different state type of vacation, I only take one per year to fly to relatives or in-laws. I might go to Los Angeles a visit. I haven't been there since 2007.
When i was selling car at a franchise dealership, I remember we all worked holidays except Christmas and Thanksgiving. We had to work one extra day, because we were getting Christmas and Thanksgiving off. Hated bell-to-bell days. 60hr+ WAS avg for sales, and 65+ was average for sales mgr.![]()
I take a day here and there if I have to, but otherwise I just take a week off for hunting.

I get 3 weeks of vacation a year but usually only take one (the week of Thanksgiving to go visit family) This year I'll probably take most of mine. Took a couple days in May to go back to KS for a family reunion, being held because my dad was not likely to make it to Christmas, then out for the week of the 15th-21st since dad DIDN'T make it (died the 14th) and will probably go back for Thanksgiving this year in part so Mom's Thanksgiving is close to normal, in part because my wife's niece has a baby due in late October.
Otherwise I occasionally take a Friday and/or Monday off for a long weekend, but really should make sure I take all my vacation (since I can only carry over one week at the end of the year).
As for taking vacations for fun ... we never do that because we can't afford to go anywhere. However we do live where we'd vacation if we'd have stayed living in Kansas.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

I have not had more than two consecutive days off in the last 9 years.
