Vacations are great even if you're just away from the office relaxing at home and not out of the city

haven't had a holiday (ie. involving traveling somewhere) in almost 10 years. at first it was because i wasn't at a job long enough to collect sufficient holiday hours, or i was so low on the seniority scale i couldn't get to pick and choose on the office holiday schedule so i always ended up with the crappy times of the year.
now with a good job, i find myself in the same position as a few others who have already posted above me... if i go, there will be no one to cover for me. if i'm gone for more than a few days, everything goes to hell and i'm always left to clean up the mess afterward  | |

My former company tried this on us when it was bought by a big American company, they found out quickly that those of us with several weeks vacation rolled over were going to take the next few months off to avoid losing our vacation, so they quickly changed their policy to conform to Canadian law. | Might not be legal, but not worth my trouble.
I just booked my vacation days.
I'm working 3 days a week from the last week of July until October and getting paid for 5.

Most of the senior people left so that doesn't leave too many people with enough experience to handle some of my duties.
Even when I write everything down and give them step by step instructions on how to do my work, they still manage to fuck up and I have to clean up the mess.
But I am determind to go on my holiday's anyways. But that means I need to schedule them around my quiet season, which works for me cause it is usually around the shitty rainy season in Vancouver.

I used to put off vacations because I worry too much about things going to hell without me there, but after 7 years of "maybe after this project is over" and never taking off more than a 2 day weekend, enough was enough.
I still don't take much, this year my big vacation is only going to be 3 working days and a Sunday, but hey, that's good enough. Longer than that and I start to get bored anyways.
My boss taught me a really good lesson about not stressing about what could happen. I would yammer on and on about how I was worried that this or that wasn't going to happen right, and how I was going to have to do a bunch of stuff to fix it if it does happen. My boss said "you already have a solution, right? How long did it take you to figure it out once you identified the problem, 10 minutes? So why even bother worrying about what might go wrong, if all it means is that when it happens it takes you 10 minutes then rather than now to figure out how to solve the problem?"
