Investing time into a game is called actually playing the game . Dont fucking kid yourself man <| sep |> IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSIONHELP ME <| sep |> We rarely take 3 weeks off in one go because of the expense and because that is on the high end of the spectrum of vacation days folk have . Most places will allow for unpaid leave , but there ' s usually a stigma attached to taking it for anything but emergencies . When I use my vacation time I ' m usually asked if I ' ll still make the deadlines on my projects . On top of that , my company doesn ' t provide a set number of sick days , but instead uses a fear based tactic of keeping the actual time we are allowed to charge to the sick leave charge code under wraps , and it is not to be used for doctor visits , etc . They are called Human Resources departments for a reason . We ' re simply resources , fucking farm animals .
