All this information about holiday, vacation and sick time really makes me
wonder how much time off museum professionals actually use.  I know I left
my last job with over 3 weeks of vacation time and more than 2 months of
sick time unused.  RIght now I run a small museum (2 person staff), so time
off is still a theoretical concept.  We're open 6 days a week and one of us
has to be here.  Vacation -- hah!

BTW the best designation I ever heard for time off was the one day "floating
religious holiday" that could be taken at the employee's discretion,
depending on their faith.
