Plus at the time we had a very liberal sick leave and FMLA plan, which many people took advantage of. Not me, of course.

I get 8 hrs per pay period, i.e., 26 days a year. When I was in uniform, it was 30 days including any inside weekends. Fortunately, it's assumed I work nights and weekends, so informal time off is expected, but it's still not really enough for a man with a bike and a boat who's nearing the end of his days.
