This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.
Are y'all getting 5 weeks of vacation a year? My American mind cannot comprehend this.
I've been at my company for almost a decade and I think I'm a bit over 4 weeks of vacation, a good chunk of that is due to seniority.
Yes, legally required for all employees. 6 weeks for employees who have been working at the current company for a very long time.
That's marvelous.
Is "very" long on the scale of like a decade or multiple decades?
at least 13, at most 25 years depending on various factors (how long you have been employed in total, how long you studied in school/university, and other factors)
That certainly is a good chunk of time, but 5 weeks minimum is stellar!
Cheers!
