Found out today that for 2014 I'll get two weeks of paid vacation at work!
This is in addition to the "standard" paid holidays, and three days of paid sick time...for a job that's half-time 9 months of the year, and quarter-time in the summers. Health care benefits would be great, but most part time jobs don't have any benefits at all, so I feel really lucky.
