All that vacation time doesn't hurt, either. Can you imagine how many more American would make it to Nationals if we all had at least four weeks of paid vacation per year?
I'm up to 2 weeks a year, but day to day stuff with kids (and swim meets) whittle that down quickly. Another 1 1/2 years (completion of the 9th year) at work and I'll be at 3 weeks of vacation.
And don't get me started on the maternity/paternity PAID LEAVE that other countries offer as well! :bitching: Yeah, we get the leave here in the U.S., but unpaid!!!
