Reason to love the FS - Holidays!!!

I happen to love this new career in the Foreign Service for many reasons that most people would find quite boring, but one that everyone can relate to -- I have been here for 2 months and have had 6 vacation days, and another coming in 2 weeks. This is the best career ever! The US holidays are the best ones because everyone else in the country is working and I have my own private holiday!
