Been meaning to do a post about moving to AK for a while now, but that will wait till I've got even less to do.
We (girlfriend and I) moved up in December of 06. Since then, I've taken a 4 day weekend to hunt bears in PWS with Dan (Dan in AK), and that's been it. I did that on purpose, because I like to stockpile a little vacation, and my last job wouldn't let me accumulate vacation time. Work charged me one day for my 2 days off, because I've worked too many weekends anyway.
The point is, it feels good to take a couple days off... it's been a while since I even had a weekend, and 4 consecutive days feels foreign and good.
I'm thinking that folks have found something good with this slope schedule, and I'm going to pitch it to the powers that be when I return.
How many of you take a regular vacation, and what do you do with it?
