Everyone at M-A starts with 3 days vacation, 3 days sick, and 2 days personal... after a year or so you get a week paid vacation, 3 days sick and 2 days personal... after a while you can take a couple weeks if you want [but nobody seems to want... then again we drink more at work than we get to on vacation ].

3 days vacation, thats not a vacation thats a long weekend, our ex-government tried to bring in the American work schedule here, did'nt work at all as he was voted out at the next election.

6 weeks Fletcher, sounds like you need a biking holiday around Australia. You won't be able to shoot yerself as they don't let you carry guns here, .

After drinking enough though I guess you would forget you were even at work.
