- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Shit I haven't had a vacation in 3 years since my honeymoon, and mainly because 1) money, 2) time. I make decent money doing my own thing as an electrician, but costs have spiraled so far out of control that I'm working my ass off just to keep us afloat. I've been contemplating hanging that up and getting a job just to get healthcare and retirement, of which I can't afford if I want to stay competitive in my pricing.
There is no guaranteed paid time off here in the states, it's a "benefit" of whatever company someone works at (including federal holidays). And even then, many people are guilted into not taking their allocated time off for fear of very real reprisal (missing out on promotions, etc).
It's really fucked up and I don't wanna play anymore.
