Haha, I guess until you walk a mile you don't know. I went five years with just two weeks off per year and thought it was inhumane. I loved my job, but there are a lot of people out there that really only do have two weeks off per year, in spite of what people here say. It's probably less an issue in professional-type jobs, and it seems like a lot of people on CP are professionals.
Based on my experience with just two weeks off, and given how much I value time with my friends and family, I may overvalue time off compared to other people. I would put up with a lot of crap for three months off.
Maybe your mom would think different if she had to work a full year with only two weeks off, and maybe I would think different if I had to work as a teacher for a year/nine months (a bit of a dig - I can't control myself
).
