It's Christmas, damnit

Hmm. Every once in a while I'm confronted with differences between American and UK agencies. Heck, who am I kidding? It's a daily occurance. And while I generally much prefer UK agency-life (aaah, the pubs, the complete un-PCness of it all...) well, there are a few things that throw me off. Like vacations. I mean, holidays. In the US, naarly all agencies close their doors between Christmas and New Years - it's a gift. But here in the UK, we're required to take time between these holidays as part of our allocated vacation days.

WHAT?

As a US employee (well until most recently) I know I only had about 15 days holiday (compared to most my friends here who get minimum 25 days) ... but still.

Anyways. Moving on.

Happy Holidays everyone.
