How many years of FT work experience?

My Partner is an ###. Ten years work experience.

Take a vacation. Go somewhere you haven’t been you will be better for it when you get back

The problem with me for vacations is that it costs me money to go on vacation whereas working nets me basically another paycheck with per diem...

Experiences are invaluable

The major reason to have this job is to take vacations you couldn’t otherwise afford
