That's true. And less traffic going to work. I love the commute during the summer, although afternoons can still be somewhat troublesome.

I honestly despise the "work, work, work" culture here in the U.S. I honestly feel the high stress is a contributor to our bad diet and health problems this country has compared to other ones.

For me, it is amazing to have the roads free of school buses in the morning. I just wish this could last!

That's why my dad now talks about getting his Italian citizenship and going to Italy (not completely serious).

Yeah it sucks. Not including the holidays, I only get two weeks vacation annually and won't be bumped up to three for another eight years.

All hell will break loose in September. That has to be one of the worst months for traffic.

Man that sucks. Everybody should get 5 weeks of vacation like we do in Sweden.

My stupid company worked the weekend and on Monday because part of our business supplies the mattress industry and they naturally worked the weekend and Monday. Oh well, I have today off anyhow.

My brother was unhappy about going to work yesterday. He regretted not taking a vacation day.

I can see the benefits of having a day or two off in the middle of the week though...breaks it up a bit.

That would be a dream. I think I might top out at four or five weeks per year if I stay where I am. But that would be after like 25 years of service.
