We are a really small firm (Boss/Owner, 2 Full Time, 2 PT university Students) offering a one-of-a-kind service, essentially running a huge database service by collating grant money and stipend offers from across the globe and then get license fees from universities and scientific institutions to access for their employees and scientists/doctoral candidates. (just for some Background info)

Anyway, even when my FT colleague was out sick for 3 months recently (with of all things a viral infection) he was adament i not work any overtime and still gave me an extra 5 vacation days for the rest of the year and a permanent raise to make up for the extra intensity of the work.

So that's essentially bonus days i am taking next week, looking forward to a week of changing stuff around the flat, fix up my bike, that sort of stuff
