I'm self employed now, but when i was working in an office back in the day, i was always short on vacation time. i think it's something that we've all gone through to some extent.
I would use sick days, then vacation, then it got so bad that i was even taking leave without pay.
**sigh...the lengths i use to go to to destroy my life when i was still drinking was incredible.
thank God that's behind me now.
