Government employees will get the holiday off and earn some vacation days but my guess is that they save those vacations for Thanksgiving and Christmas season like most people in the states do... maybe some summer time off... most people I know don't take multi day vacations at all between mid January- June.

Ha, the saddest part being that I kept dreaming about getting an approval notice (a day late of course) and I kept checking back to make sure it was real.... Hope it's a sign. :blush: I hope everyone else starts to see some touches and then approvals - I'm starting to feel "overtouched!!!"

Really it just depends where you work. The company I work for is really good about paid time off (I thought so at least). As an entry level employee I'm allowed 18 days - which is unheard of for many. Unfortunately, sick time does come out of it. For those above me they get 23 but we are allowed to "purchase" more at the beginning of the year. And many do.

I happen to be in a job that has quite a bit of "time off"...teaching. However, I spend much of that time catching up grading going to trainings, and planning. I am still thankful for all the time I have off...I know Darren will miss his holiday entitlements (probably more than he realises)...

My mom had to wait almost 15 years at her job to have her 4 weeks off; and then she had to wait until she had more seniority to get the time off she wanted to (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.)...

I'm actually considering myself lucky then, because as soon as I am work autorised I have a job waiting. I'm going into business with an uncles who currently lives in NY....so I wont be too concerned about holidays. He is English too!

All I need now is just to get there!!!!
