Green with envy over here ... I remember when I worked my first job in a centre I was there just over 10 years and had earned 6 weeks of paid vacation plus we were closed almost two weeks at Christmas - it was HEAVEN and very hard to give up!

Working from home is way less stressful for me though so I do not feel that 'need' for as much vacation and do not get any where NEAR as sick as I did in that environment either - although I do get 10 days of vacation and 10 personal days off each year one day I would love to work up to the summers off!
