Thanks, Downunda [img]smile.gif[/img]

To put my current excitement into the right context... I started off this year with 42 days of vacation leave (21 carried over from last year, and a fresh 21 this year). This 42-day deal has been carrying on for 3 years, meaning that since 2000, I have only used up the previous year's leave but not touched on the current year's allocation.

This year, I took 14.5 days off (4 to attend to my maternal grandma's funeral, 4 to visit my paternal grandparents overseas, and the remaining to run errands for my parents). It has been so stressful at work that I just want a break from it all (even when I went on leave earlier, I tended to check my office emails... it was becoming an obsession ).

Right now, my leave plans are in 1-2 day blocks (for example, I am off next Tues and Wed, but return to the office on Thu). I have tried as far as possible to extend my weekends using the blocks, though. I don't think I can afford a long holiday (I doubt my boss would agree, it is after all the peak period), but at least I hope to wake up late and bum around [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I am really keeping my fingers crossed that I get to go off on those days
