get 15 every year
I'm[wallmad]in[wallmad]the[wallmad]wrong[wallmad]proffesion[wallmad] I think I need to renegotiate my contract[eek]
 
Get a job working for the city ! Best move I ever made.
I worked 50 and 60 hr weeks for years laying under hot greasy cars.There was no such things as holidays ,weekends,or sick days. The money was good but I had no friggin life
I work for the B.O.E. now fixing stuff around the schools. I work 7-3 m-f ,anything else is overtime or double time.
The money could be a bit better,but the bennys are the best. Plus.. no holidays,no weekends,no nights.
And its union. I think Im up too about 45 sick days right now.
 
I just 'sold back' over 140 hours of sick time, to be deposited into my deferred compensation account. Even with the stock market in the crapper, they're hours I wouldn't get paid as much for upon retiring.. and if/when the market goes up, so does my savings. [up]
 
I'm on family leave right now. Son was born on the 30th, I've been off from Dec 24 till Jan 17. Accumulated sick time was used for it. Used to have tons of sick days, but when my 1st was born, I took the max and was off for 3 months!
