(typo catch -- you say workers in the EU have 5-6 *days* of paid time off and I think you mean weeks)

I'm in a similar boat --I'm incredibly excited to take my first ever two-days off in a row at work to go see the eclipse in April! I tend not to even get sick particularly often (and even less so now that I mask full time and don't go through colds) so taking both Monday and Tuesday off is a stunning new experience! ;)

(Of course, as a schoolteacher in Massachusetts, I get full weeks off in December, February, and April and 9-10 consecutive weeks in the summer. As I tell people, I do work fewer days than most jobs --contractually, 185 days a year-- I just have no flexibility in when those days are!)
