Ahhh, I get two weeks a year, and I have to bid for my weeks in December for the following year. 5 option days per year, but I have a much shorter window to get that authorized (no more than two weeks notice, no less than 48hrs and if it's rejected I'll sure as shit face a write-up for not showing up that day.)
I can suck it up for a few months, though, make it through December and try to line up a two week vacation for some time in January/February. I definitely need to break free from this monotonous day-to-day routine I've let myself fall into, but I've already stuck with it for eight years now... I don't think another couple of months'll kill me.
Thanks, w01f, it's always good to have someone bring you back down to reality. I went to bed last night with my mind stuck on imagining various ways of quitting and just running off into the sunset. It led to some pretty sweet dreams, but also to me not even wanting to get out of bed and face the day. Good ol' cyclical depression, man, it's like the weather gets colder and my head gets all fucked up.
