I'm really glad you're liking the job. Its important to be somewhere that treats you like a human being and not a machine!

I have to apologise for the tone of my last post, it came across abit strongly I know. I don't know, we just take things so much for granted here in the UK, if you see what I'm saying. Like, I truly find it hard to imagine what it must be like to have the system like it is in the states. I guess I take sick days/vacation days for granted, I mean because they're a legal requirement here, it seems strange that it isn't legal in the states if you see what I mean.

Yeah, my last job we had ultraflexible time- basically you could come in anytime between 8-10am and leave anytime after 4pm. It was rather nice. As long as you worked 7hours/day they didn't care. Actually, I never worked 7 hours/day, I would often surf the net, post on babble etc.

Anyway you think we have it easy re: vacation time in the UK, try France or Italy. My brother who lives & works in Milan gets three weeks solid off in August, in addition to other holidays. Crazy slacker Europeans, eh? Actually, come to think of it, isn't it bit of a stereotype that Europeans have loads of vacations/less working hours in a week etc and Americans work 24/7? hmm.
