How much sick time to folks get per year?

None.

If I'm working, I do get a couple of paid holidays--pretty much all the big ones. There's theoretical vacation/time worked bonus pay that I don't think I've ever seen, though Jilli has.

My last sick day where I got paid was in 2001, when I was blowing through them post-layoff (I had to stay on for three months).

None here either. My last job gave two weeks of leave per year, and you could use it for vacation or being sick or whatever. Except, since you didn't accrue leave while on leave, no one ever actually got two weeks of leave.

Now I'm an independent contractor, so I do not get the sick leave.

Llove the Llama picture! The one towards the bottom of the segregated water fountains is good too, for a whole different reason.

I get 10 days of sick/personal necessity a year. Actually I get 66 hours a year that I can use at my discretion. They do accrue though I burned through all of them at the end of the last school year becuase I couldn't stomach going back.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am in such a Sudafed coma, I want to put my head down on my desk and moan weakly. Instead, I'm trying to get revisions to this training course finished so I can send them to Portland Man by the end of the day. He will probably then take the opportunity to send something snippy back to me, questioning my worth as a human being.

I'm not feeling hella motivated.

I need basic supplies at school that aren't forthcoming. If only I could find 110 scantron sheets, I could give the test I have tomorrow.

Gr. Stupid.

ets I wonder if I could find them online, download them and use them. I wonder if I could find one and make a copy if it would work?

I will start writing up specs before 4. I will start writing up specs before 4. I will ....

oh, hell. I know I won't. They require coherent thought, which I'm a little short on today.

I got more honey, a lemon,

all you need is some hot water and some whiskey and you're set!

I get 6 hours of vacation and 4 hours of sick leave per 2week pay period. We also have "use or lose" leave, to avoid the ridiculous retirement payment issue. As a result, I am taking off every Friday this month, as well as the last week of the year.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

2 personal, 6 sick, 15 vacation (goes up two twenty after three or four years), 10 firm holidays. I can also make up three hours of a missed day so we use that for doctors apointments. Law is a good field for time off if you actually take it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
