today's rant: less vacation days, originally 5/28/07

how come i get off of work for memorial day but not veteran's day?  they both have the same premise.  i guess the owner of the company i work for thinks that i already get 2 days off in november for thanksgiving and the day after.  maybe he didn't want to add another.  3 days is too much.  that's a whole 10% of the month.

aside from sick days and vacation days, i get 7 days off for holidays.  as i moved from high school to college to the work force, i've been getting less and less holidays that count for a day off.  i guess that's the consequence of growing up.  in high school, i used to get election day AND the day before off.  they were parent-teacher conference days.  when i got to college, the campus administration expected me to attend class and vote at the same time.  that's why god invented absentee ballots.  now that i'm in the work force, i don't even get the jewish holidays off.  that sucks for all of god's chosen people.  i guess they'd have to sacrifice some of their vacation days.  damn.

i start my new job tomorrow.  yippie.  hopefully after saving some money for a few months, i can afford to stop living in people's basements and get a room that's actually above sea level.
