Does sound like a good system.
They have a use or lose deal where I work now...but it's a pretty high amount. Over 60 days, I think. I've only got...16 or 17?
Eep! Didn't realize it was so late! I'm taking the day off tomorrow (using "personal" time insteada "vacation" time...we acrue both), so I can sleep in...but I'd best be getting to bed anyway! Lots to do!
After the merger... I'm one of the lucky few that got "grandfathered in" so that I never lose vacation or sick leave. Even though... now I take it at the current rate. I'm not sure but I think I can go vacation until 2006. And then I can be sick until the next Bush administration. :-)
Gee... that sounds good... :-)
