I'm happy to report that my dad is home and recovering nicely, and the surgeon doesn't think he'll need to have his gall bladder removed after all.

You all have bad universities. I've never had less than 20 paid holidays.
yes, that is why I'm trying to come to yours.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I get 11 paid holidays and do not get the week between Xmas and New Year's.
I still can hang clothes, right?
Yes! Just use clothespins generously!! I need to get a retractable clothesline.

We don't have a retractable, but a regular line and we hang up during wind frequently. Esp. if there is no sun.

I currently get 22 holidays, 24 vacation days, 18 sick days and summer Friday afternoons off.
I do have to work some Saturdays - about 1 a month, and sometimes a holiday, but I get comp time.

Except for the conservatism, I want to work at Sparky's uni!

Dude. Now *I* want to work at Sparky's U. Except in how they hate me and my kind, and I don't think I could stand all the conservatism and the hating on me and on the various positions I feel strongly about. But, y'know....VACATION. And SICK TIME. And HOLIDAYS!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
am jealous. I think I had similar when at the uni, but then I also had a boss from hell, so it wasn't worth it long term.
Now I have 11 vacation, 3 personal, 9 sick (but if you take them all, you will be talked to), and the federal reserve holidays. Where ever I get a job in TX will probably be worse unless I can get on with a school district (and yes, I am actually considering horribly low pay of being a school support staff in order to get school hours and the same vacations as mac).
