I'm with ya there. Five more days of the full time gig and four more of the side gig then I'm in the woods for three weeks straight. An extra day for me would have to be used in the second week of Nov unless I was already off that week.
I have only been out once.
Learned long ago to not burn vacation early in the season.
Don't have vac days like I used to (lost job of 14 yrs, 8 yrs ago).
Starting over sucks in quite a few ways.
