vacation

From the submitter:

"Several people at my shop booked cruises for January and Febuary (it's cold here during that time). Management denied all vacation requests during those months due to "customer demand limits vacation availability." Some of these folks had up to four weeks coming to them. When threatened with legal action, my employers relented."

My co-worker went on vacation for a week, and a few of us in the office decided to welcome her back in style. Gifts or GTFO.

Although, to be fair, he has the least obvious tan lines of the entire bunch. It's a shame about the 3-inch-think layer of sunscreen he'll have to use, though.

My boss went on vacation, and a coworker and I dutifully took what we learned from M Thru F and applied it.

The Chinese company Tiens Group sent more than half of its employees on an all expenses paid trip to France to celebrate its 20th anniversary.  The 6,400 person group visited the Lourve museum together and stayed in Paris as part of a four-day trip package. They are expected to spend up too 13 million euros ($15 million US) during the visit.

In between the "Existential Crisis" and "Briefly Consider Never Going Back" points is the time that I spend frantically googling "astronaut school."

Land of the free and home of the unpaid vacation.

To a conservative audience (U.S. edition): Makes sense that those lazy good-for-nothing libs who want the government to do everything for them would take more time off instead of earning more through their own hard work!

To a liberal audience: Figures that that uptight band of sticks-in-the-mud cons would spend so much time working to earn and hoard their precious blu-ray players and their 51" plasma screen tvs!

Carrying it out of the ancient tomb was pretty difficult.

Bring me all the daiquiris in the land!
