[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yep. Ours is 3 weeks, 4 weeks after 5 years.
TCG gets 3 weeks vacation time and 4 weeks after 5 years, plus 1 1/4 sick day per month. The sick time accumulates year after year, so if he ever needed a surgery like you did, he would have more than enough sick time (which he never uses) to cover it and not have to worry about using vacation time.

See now? Thass what I'm talking about, Willis!!
My employer is pretty generous with time off. I think I have 28 days of vacation now, having been there over ten years, and everyone gets 12 days sick per year. Sick time accrues without limit; unused sick days roll into "EIFM Sick time" which is to be used when a family member is sick or we need to do something for someone else. My boss is pretty laissez faire about it all; as long as the work gets done, she doesn't care if we're REALLY TRULY sick or whatever. We can only carry over 10 days vacation time into the next year, though, which ends up with half the department having to take "emergency" vacation days in December or lose them. Since I hardly ever take sick days (I have to be too sick to focus; if I can sit up on the couch I can work) I have about 40 days of combined time off right now. Shoot, I could be gone for a month! Maybe I will.
Wow, zenkitty, that's awesome for you!!

Wanna help me move?
I have the same problem as Zen. My relatives are local, so I don't really use random vacation time. I end up with at least two weeks of "use or lose" every year. But, with working at a university, once the students are out, it's generally not a problem for me to be gone (although I often end up working at home, but I can deal with that). I accumulate 6 hours of vacation and 8 hours of sick leave each pay period, which comes to almost 20 days per year. I have over 600 hours of sick leave. I'm considering having surgery this summer and just taking a month off because I can.
I work for a non-profit that budded off from a university a while back. They told me that's why we have more vacation time than many places. I can roll over a certain amount every year, and anything left over gets turned into sick leave. It's pretty generous.
Wanna help me move?
not Zen, but maybe. I'm bad at the actual moving, but good at packing and unpacking. And a good car companion!

Road trip to New Orleans would be awesome!
YES YES IT WOULD.
