At the place I'm working at now, vacations are a very foreign concept to me :-P. I'm pretty much not allowed to take vacations, not because the workload is immense (on the contrary, it's usually completely absent!), but because management is absolutely terrified that the servers will go down for some reason or another while I'm out. Although I could give very simple, to-the-point instructions on how to get things up and running in short order, they refuse to "take their chances" by letting me go on vacation.

Solution? I'm quitting. Next Monday, I'm off to a company that actually has people I could cross-train to handle some things, with a generous vacation policy. I'm thoroughly happy for the change :w00t:
