	Almijisti	Why can't I have a job like that?   Posted by Almijisti on Thursday, August 02, 2007 - 5:01 PM [Reply to this]

	THAT guy Freddy Nassar	I completely agree we need more days off! I know a ton of Fins and yea, for the most part they're happy.. or drunk.. but usually happy.. Got a gamer tag? I'll tear you up in Gears of War if you ever feel like hoping on.   Posted by THAT guy on Thursday, August 02, 2007 - 5:03 PM [Reply to this]

	nick	So Hawkins, Where would you go if you had 44 days of vacation? I'd hit Jiro Valley for a bit, then check out some of the surf spots of India. Did you know there was 7000 miles of coastline there? I heard the word 'surf' came from India, so they must have some hot waves. http://www.surfingindia.net/india-surf-spots I know, you can't surf, but I think you just need a good reason to try.

	AVC	Snow days are why I wish we only had a 4 day work week. We work way too many days and way too many hours. We spend more time at school and work than we do with our families, friends, loved ones, etc. etc. It's crazy insane. Everybody should start to adopt a 4 day work week, 3 day weekend frame of mind. Leaving Friday an OPTIONAL work day. Pass the thought on man, a 4 day work week would be like having a snow day every day of the week for the rest of our lives ;)   Posted by AVC on Friday, August 03, 2007 - 5:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Vio	4 day work week sounds heavenly dude...sigh! someday...that shd become the norm... :)   Posted by Vio on Tuesday, December 04, 2007 - 10:19 PM [Reply to this]

	Darklight Interactive	I haven't had a vacation in three years. Us programmers are slave labor, I tell you. You should try Spain, where there are people and companies that effectively shut down during the summer. Or some South American countries where pretty much everyone has an afternoon nap every day of the week.   Posted by Darklight Interactive on Friday, August 03, 2007 - 5:48 PM [Reply to this]

	Doug	Yea, the Europeans are definitely better off when it comes to vacation days and holidays. My boss used to travel for business to Europe and Japan both. Europe, he would say, was usually "closed for the summer". The Japanese, though, are on the other end of the spectrum. They work so much in Japan that they rent places in town to sleep just to avoid the downtime of commuting back to their homes! Here in the U.S. we're kind of in between the two extremes.   Posted by Doug on Monday, August 06, 2007 - 10:18 PM [Reply to this]

	Alan Alan Geiss	whats lucky about my job is, I can take time off whenever I want.   Posted by Alan on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 5:46 PM [Reply to this]

	DeadlySofa	Yeah man, all the European citizens get lots of days off like that. It just sems like our country has gona all workoholic and is leaving the average Joe out in the cold. You also gotta think that those European countries for the most part have Government regulated healthcare too, so they don't even have to spend a dime at the doctor's office, and they probably get paid from work if they missed it due to sickness. Man, I'd like to live in Europe, or at least somewhere with better healthcare and 44 days off of work a year lol.   Posted by DeadlySofa on Wednesday, August 15, 2007 - 5:25 PM [Reply to this]

	Vlad	There are a lot holidays in Germany, particulary at spring. Sometimes you have each weak one holiday. Having freetime, drinking beer. Pretty cool :-)   Posted by Vlad on Saturday, August 18, 2007 - 1:15 AM [Reply to this]

	Jen Jen Kirkland	Lucky for us in the UK, I get 20 days mandatory paid holiday and 12 bank holidays (which are like christmas and easter and such)   Posted by Jen on Monday, August 27, 2007 - 7:11 PM [Reply to this]

	Vlad	Btw, if you compare various countries, it's really difficult to find the best thing ever. So if we have in Germany good working situation (I mean the office atmosphere, vacation and stuff), but financial aspect isn't soo optimistic like in other countries. And my girlfriend is Japanese, she works for a Japanese company, and she get really good money. I mean, even if they are only 30 vacation days maximum, but you can use it much better with cash :-) Don't think, I'm a money freak, but I would work in an japanese company, if I'd get a chance. And: there is Wii and PS3 in Japan, hehe.   Posted by Vlad on Tuesday, December 04, 2007 - 10:20 PM [Reply to this]
