Same situation here

Deer hunt
Work on the GTO and Galaxie this year
Drive around aimlessly
Eat too much and spend enough money that I could have gone to Mexico

That last part is my problem...I got a bonus and spent nearly all of it shopping for Christmas gifts this year already. Had I been workin I wouldnt gone shopping so much

I'm maxed out and loose it over a certain cap

I wish I had PTO. But then again, I've been sitting around the house for 9 days now while my truck's been in the shop, and i get paid for it. so i guess it all evens out, considering I got 2 weeks of vacation, and about 2 months all together this year of breakdown. I'd rather be working, this sitting around doing nothing sucks!

do they offer to write you a check for the extra pto or do you have to use it before the end of the year

I have to use it or lose it, and can only carry over a week.

Our vacation vanishes into the abyss if we don't use it every year. I get 3 weeks and a few personal days. Never lost an hour or had to use it all at the end of my entitlement year.

Housework sounds good...after being in this place for a bit now there are finally things to keep up with.

I'm trying to keep from spending a fortune on dumb shit out of boredom.

I never use all my vacation, and this year I get an additional two weeks. Burning 2 days to get the full week next week.


As for what keeps me occupied, kids, projects around the house, etc.

Anyone else here not use enough pto during the year and taking off a few weeks in a row here? I always get caught in this position and don't know what to do for the several days off.

What keeps you occupied during time off?
