This is the first weekend I've had off completely free since August. Next time off will be to see my nephew graduate college in CA in June. I leave on Fri and come back Sun. Graduation on Sat.

I have a bunch of friends from poker circles that get a punter's pad in Vegas and grind out all the tourneys over the summer including the $10K main. Most of them are streamers and poker pros and I got an invite to the punter's pad this summer, but can't make it due to my schedule. Some day I will be able to make it to the Vegas punter's pad and win the $10K WSOP main. Suuuuupppperrrrrr 420 friendly lol.

Took over a month last year for the first time in my career. Maybe even closer to two given some family bereavement days. 
 

I know not everyone has control over what their company “allows” them to do, but if you are a grown adult and you’re only “allowed” to take off 1-2 weeks a year, you’re getting clowned on.
