Joe,

 JM>   Plus there are now all sorts of medical advice pages on the web.
 JM> Type in your symptoms and get a general answer/solution to the problem.

  QWK Tagline: WARNING!! I'm naked under these clothes!! <G>

 JM>   I've known people who have done similar things.  Lots of
 JM> vacation/sick days accrued and take that in a lump sum.

  Same here. One guy has enough time built up that he can be off from
Thanksgiving Week until after New Years Day.

 JM>   I've had only one job with any sort of vacation pay, and that was for
 JM> only five days, regardless how long one worked for the company.  A new
 JM> hire (after one year) and a 20+ year employee had the same number of
 JM> days.

  I had vacation time with Burger King and Oxford Graphics, but the max was
2 weeks a year, depending on how long you had been there.

 JM>   However, my being posted at a university I took six weeks a year off.
 JM> The week of Thanksgiving, four weeks for Christmas (mid-December to
 JM> mid-January when there were no classes) and a week in March for spring
 JM> break.

  Is that an unpaid vacation??

 JM>   Being retired (and still working) I can refuse and not a lot the
 JM> company can do about it.  :)

  I thought you were going to retire and turn in your uniform in January.
