    I just wanted 2 to help out friends. I never run out of gas because I'm never gone for more than a couple days.

    The other can is really helpful in that it holds all of my tent stuff like a mallet, tie downs, etc.

    i had a accumulated 3 months of PTO - we were always "too busy" for me to take time off.

    i wanted some time off after not having a vacation in 6 years.

    after i argued w my management over me taking three weeks off for vacation, i threatened to quit.

    he thought I was bluffing.

    i wrote my resignation letter.

    5 minutes after turning it in, i was approved for a MONTH off.

    I have to take time off as well do to the sensitive nature of my work
    Only 2 weeks. If you accumulate 3 weeks that should roll, your employer is only required to give you 2 the next year.

    30 days paid leave a year, and it can roll over and accumulate up to 70 days. Pretty much unlimited sick days, as long as you're actually sick and medical says so. Love that about the military.

    Also Cboy makes some quality shit.

    Only have space and time for one at a time. Don't want the dogs trampling all over them while painting in the backyard.

    I work at a very small firm and my bosses don't regulate time off/sick days. It's pretty nice and I have never been turned down for a vacation. But that also leaves the issue of not taking vacation days due to our busy schedule and lack of regulation. I know I never meet my allotment each year but o well.
