I love to flaunt the summer vacation aspect of the job to everyone around me. Unfortunately, Husbandman gets more vacation than I do so he is usually unimpressed.
Good tactic. I often encourage complaining friends to join the field. Suggestion is ignored.
I love summer vacation when it isn't raining all the time, and I love our job. I don't love people that are perturbed by our much needed break. Of course, I always offer anyone to choose any week and follow my routine during the school year... no one has taken me up on this offer.
