I haven't and I have been working since 2003-then grad school/working-then back to working full time in 2006.<BR/><BR/>I do impose my own break/holiday system. Christmas and New Years - I take days off. My husband's birthday next year in March, we having a vacay to a tropical locale (and yes if you plan you can afford it). A day off in June for my birthday celebration, one in August for my wedding anniversary, and then a trip home during the holiday season or an excuse for college football.<BR/><BR/>You can get holidays/vacations to work for you.Skywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859283756071608477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-79880374637628263742008-12-17T08:58:00.000-05:002008-12-17T08:58:00.000-05:00You'll get out of the academic year mode and you'l...You'll get out of the academic year mode and you'll get used to 15 days per year.

In the past I've always broken them up to take random long weekends throughout the year.
