I also don't want to leave New Zealand.
Giving New Zealand sufficient time basically takes a sabbatical, I suspect. There's just too much of it to see.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
How does one go about taking a sabbatical?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At my job, they will give you six weeks paid and another six unpaid after you've worked there for 10 years.

Jesse, 10 years is a long time but dang, that's some incentive!

I think after 10 years at my company they give you a jacket. And another week of vacation.

Yeah, my coworker just spent the summer driving across country with her kid, which sounded amazing. Unfortunately, her position was just eliminated, which is kind of the dark side of the whole thing -- they got used to being without her.

I've got almost more PTO than I can use after ten years, but I'm only allowed to use it a week at a time.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
A week at a time isn't bad, though.

That sucks you can't take more than a week-long vacation!! I'm super lucky to be working at a place with unlimited pto now and they seem to really encourage actually taking unconnected time off. Work anniversary presents are $$ towards vacation. My grandboss used her 3 year gift to go to a yoga retreat out west this spring. Am hoping it works out that I can keep working here for a while and the benefits don't change!!

Officially? If you wanted to take a 10-day trip you wouldn't be able to? That's not right.
Unlimited PTO, I think I would be tempted to abuse that.
