Yes!I can take as many days off as I want (as long as I take care of some stuff before I leave and make sure my colleagues don't die while I'm away).
U jelly?
"Only" depends on the point of view. My US-american ex-German emigrant friend, who tells me about 15 days with which he even has to cover illness times, would be very happy about 25 days. Ugh, 15 days...happy me, living in Germany. But Canada also seems to be a good choice, 25 days is quite okay. And your work-live-balance seems to be perfect, dear friend owl. I'm happy for you, and you really really have more than earned it after all the stressful months. Have a nice day, big hugs for you and your family from far over the sea :wink::grinning:That looks beautiful Sam. I'm glad you got to go camping with your son. I plan on doing some myself when I start my vacation next week.
I think vacation time here's in north America is dependant on your career. I, for instance, only have 25 days of vacation. But the military supplements that us. So Christmas I usually get nearly a month, a week or two in the spring, and another 3-4 weeks in the summer. I can't complain. And I'm home with my family almost all the time now. Sitting at home for lunch as we speak.
Thanks my good friend. We're loving our lifestyle now as well. It's really nice being able to come home for breakfast and lunch during the work day, and to just be present with my family. Life is good.Yes!

Morning, everybody!
I'm having the busiest day ever at work. It's usually really quiet around the shop in the summer, but today we're packed full.
@AstroSam , bring forth thy COFFEE!
Congratulations :beers:and boosted across the 1k mark! What a success!
Not this year Sam. Those fires are on the other side of the country from us. If I was still at my old unit, then yes, I'd be going to fight them.@Blind Owl I've heard about those wildland fires over in Canada, again. How bad is it? Will you have to go over to the locations for helping to fight the fires?
Hot dry summers, as well as the fact that we've battled forest fires for so long that we've created conditions favourable to huge fires.Damn. Is this normal or is this part of the country lack of rain?
Yeah, basically by successfully fighting fires for so many years we've allowed the undergrowth to grow so thick that it feeds the fires so they become large enough to actually burn down the trees.Ah, that is interesting: Battling the wildfires cause - wildfires? I will read your URLs lateron, thanks for posting them!
