I have 1,5 months vacation, officially. But this is offset by the fact that summer is the field season, so I only get about 2 weeks actual time...
Plus not a lot of money, though better now than at 90s.
And last time was not a vacation - I had to go to work into countryside (it could act as a vacation if I had time to rest there... unfortunately, 2 weeks were barely enough for work! ;( ) And I DO NOT like Dostoevsky. If you are really interested in Russian literature, try Tchekhov(sp?).
By the way, I will be able to write to forums from time to time, but won't have access to gaming computer, so just treat me as a silent hallucination...
