I too try and save mine for around christmas time. I only get a week though so meh. By the time vacation comes around I am MOOOOOORRRRRRRREEEEEEE than ready for it.
5 years on the job means 4 weeks of paid vacation plus two floating holidays. Add 2 weeks of paid paternity leave to use between 10/26/12 and 10/26/13 and I have (had) a total of 32 days. Considering I had 17 days last year this is a big change for me. That being said we have so many weddings and "family functions" to attend this year I only have about a week's worth of vacation to use whenever I want. Otherwise I would've been taking whole weeks off to work on the RX-7. Can't get used to this though as I'm back down to 22 days next year. To bad we can't roll over vacation...
I guess having no tread grooves and nearly a slick doesn't help HAHA! I did a track day at mid-ohio last year and the track was still slightly wet for the first session (it had rained about 1-2 hours before). That first session on my Nittos was definitely scary lol. Luckily it dried up.
what?
this year i hit 5 years at the company and now have 3 weeks paid vacation + floating holiday (its been black friday every year for everyone in the office for as long as i can remember haha)
last couple years ive only had 2 weeks vacation and kept atleast one full week to split for archery and rifle hunting and then usually just took several for random long weekends and saved the last 2-3 for around Christmas time..
with a 3rd week now, i might actually take a "real" vacation next year and this year ill likely use several days working on the house, and probably a few extra days for hunting haha its June and ive only used 2 of my 16 days off... haha

I essentially have 4 weeks of vacation... just one is fixed each year. They move a couple holidays like MLK Day, and other governement holidays to the Christmas season, giving us the week between Christmas and NY off. I don't mind it, but I go stir crazy.
So you guys go by full days, or by hours? We keep track by hours.
Technically days but we can divide them into half day increments of four hours. I think we get ten holidays (New Year's, MLK, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, two days for Thanksgiving, and two days for Christmas). Our floating days are Good Friday and Election Day but I don't know of anyone who actually takes them on those days. I essentially have to take off the last two weeks of the year or I'd go crazy. All our shops are shut down and everyone is out so I'd be twiddling my thumbs and trolling the forums all day.
