Oof.... 5 days? I just got bumped up to 19 days. After 5 more years, 25 days. The way it works is years 1-5, 1 day a month, years 6-10, 1.5 days per month, 10+ years gets you 2 days a month. And the whole time you also get your birthday off. Plus 12 sick days, plus comp time, plus 12 paid holidays.

Working for the government DOES have its advantages.

Oh yeah, 7 hour workday. Those are the reasons I don't get paid as much as others and I don't care. Not to mention I'm on a wage, while my boss is on salary. Since 35 hour work weeks are really not realistic most of the time, I do get overtime, and as such, I end up making more than her. Wheee.
