Since Many Of Us Are Still Here

I am not going to discuss May 21st. At least not here. This is a random posting. I read an article of how Americans do not take vacations or long vacations, and that is correct. At one job, I took a total of eight days off, and two of those were sick days. I had worked 15 months there. They gave me six days my first year, and I had two weeks the next year, but I just did not take all of those days. They already had issues covering me for lunch and breaks, I can only imagine what would have happened if I took off one week.

Now on another job, I had five weeks' paid time off. I always disappeared in the month of December. So, did everybody else in my department. I miss that industry. I don't think federally-mandated paid time off will work here. While most places offer a week or two, they frown when it's used or it becomes troublesome to work around. However, people need it and it helps them deal with job stress and also all-around stress, but it won't happen in my lifetime. And if it did, I'll probably be retired.

I hope to write at least ten posts this month, and I only got four to go. See? Random.
