I'm my own boss so I can take as much time as I want, however, I find that it requires me to be very structured in how I set up my work and complete my tasks for clients. Also, I tend to at least tend to important emails while I am "off".

We close down for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. I usually take this week between the two off. I didn’t this year though because I have work that needs to be done by next Monday.

Time to stand up for yourself. Either 1. Take a hard line you are not working on holidays or 2. Finding a new job
Is what it is, just the nature of the beast in my world. I’m compensated more fairly to take the body blows and have unlimited freedom day to day. I can work from anywhere with internet.
Just unrealistic for me to ever have an expectation of unplugging for a week or more. In the last 5 years, my longest run of total job avoidance was about 96 hours and that’s because it was timed in a dead period.

I work for myself and didn't even look at my email for 3 days. Back at it at 5AM this morning.
At a little after 8AM a friend called to tell me that there were several projects relocating a refinery and chemical plants to Bangladesh. Who knew? All older plants and from the Middle East. A company called him to refurbish the SVG integral compressors, 30,000 HP worth. Experienced chemical engineers will understand that none have been made in at least 3 decades.

I get no time off unless my natural days off fall on it. I do make double time though if I gotta work.

I think I get four days of holiday this time of the year.
I don’t even know for sure. Five weeks of vacation a year and I’m rolling three into next year

These threads always make me depressed about how shitty my holiday work schedule is.

I usually work New Years Eve and New Years day so others can take off. Most of the time we end up closing early. I would rather take off when everyone else is working so that the stores / restaurants, etc aren't crowded.
