In our office at the university where I work, we’re fortunate to receive generous time off benefits each year, including approximately two days of vacation per month, at least one day of sick leave per month, a few days for holidays of our choosing, plus the standard holidays, which even include a week off at Christmas. Despite working many extra hours and having a son with autism, which means we rarely go on vacations, I do use some of this time for necessary appointments and family obligations. Yet, the question of how best to utilize my vacation time remains.
