   Just have to survive one more 8-hour shift, then my mandatory 2-day rest period begins.

     One funny thing about working in an industrial non-union job is that, as a newbie, I only get one vacation day off this year! I also get holidays off, but what the fuck?
     
     Other things:
     - No insurance for 60 days
     - Taking a sick day is Absolutely Frowned Upon and requires a doctor's note
     - The 401k plan is an absolute joke

     @sean I think the key words are "non-union job" ... other than Silly Valley, I'm not aware of most non-union jobs granting vacation time. I've never had a job in my life where vacation time was available. Some ARE okay with using sick time, because they realize that when a sick employee comes to work, not only is their productivity reduced, but they spread the infection to other employees.

     I should note that both #sonOne ( age 42 ) and #sonTwo ( age 32 ) obtained jobs with vacation time within the last 2-3 years, but before that, neither of them had ever had it either. ( #Daddy_A still has not had a job with vacation, but he was stuck in retail until a back injury took him out of the workforce for five years. )
