No way, i've still not unpacked everything from my move! i've not finished decorating either, ugh... i should get to that, i need to rope in some helpers...
My weekend was okay, i hurt my leg last night, dont know how i did it but by the looks of it i'm lucky its not broken, darn drunks... i think i fell on the concrete stairs that lead up to my apartment.
by law you have to have 4 weeks vacation days PAID. but there was a loophole that they could include the 8 bank holidays (ya know those weird days we get off throughout the year)
the recent law has just changed to say employers cant use these days to make up the vacation entitlement meaning we now have to have 20 vacation days PLUS 8 days bank holidays.
I get just that, my boss is mean
at my other job where i work part time i get 6 weeks vacation plus 8 bank holidays.
Most companies pay around 28-32 days paid vacations plus the 8 bank holidays.

Reason: to make it more understandable to americans, lol
This should make you feel better. I get 6 paid holidays, and 10 vacation days. After I'm with the company for 5 years, my vacation days increase to 15. Probably by my fifth anniversary they will probably take that extra perk away. Of course, this doesn't include weekends, but why should it? I don't work weekends at my job.
6 weeks...ok, I no longer feel bad for the lonely Brits. Of the two companies I am applying to right now, one offers 2 weeks paid vacation, and the other is very generous and offers 3 (rolls eyes).
