Back when I was someone's employee, as I recall I got two weeks of vacation, two weeks of sick time, and as much "comp" time as I felt like earning. (If the notion of "comp" time is not of common knowledge, say someone (like me) worked a holiday (which I always did). I would then get time and a half for that day later.
Now ... every day is just a mix of work, caring for the animals, helping my neighbors, cleaning house, and projects. Same thing ... day in and day out.

yes, technically for me it's the same situation, since i don't have a boss to request vacation from. but i give myself days off when i need them, and i don't (usually...) work holidays or weekends (except when there is an urgent deadline, of course.
). since i'm freelance i organise my own time. i suppose technically i could give myself 52 weeks of vacation, but i would probably have trouble paying my rent in that case (alas).
