<div dir="ltr"><div>As some of you may know, I work for a little company in the Portland area that has a perk called a sabbatical. Every 7 years you are eligible for a sabbatical, which is a contiguous 56 day long vacation from work. This is in addition to your standard 4 weeks vacation per year, unlimited (to a point) sick days, and 10 holidays per year.</div><div><br></div><div>Needless to say, it's a pretty nice perk, and one that everyone looks forward to. </div><div><br></div><div>I've been here just over 16 years, and I just got back from my second sabbatical. </div><div><br></div><div>Now, it's typical for everyone else on the team to decorate your cube when you get back. Here's a picture of mine. I would say it was good to get back to work, but then everyone would just laugh at me. However, it was nice to come back to this.</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_1591ed793eec19bd" alt="Inline image 1" width="545" height="307"><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_1591ed8285bc9d7e" alt="Inline image 2" width="545" height="307"><br></div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br>-Steve<br><a href="http://woodworking.bigelowsite.com" target="_blank">http://woodworking.bigelowsite.com</a><br></div><a href="http://pen-blanks.us" target="_blank">http://pen-blanks.us</a><br></div></div></div>
