It sounds like you haven’t been using vacation time, or am I misunderstanding? Don’t forget to just take a lot of regular vacation time, especially if your company is one of those “unlimited” shops. Until you get a nastygram from HR I would just take whatever time you want off and don’t worry about using too much of it. Typically as long as you don’t exceed about 2 or 3 weeks at a time you’re fine. If your employer doesn’t give you at least 20 days plus holidays, shop around for employers. If your employer has separate sick days, don’t forget to “randomly” use those in a realistic fashion. I’m also generally in favor of a sabbatical. Don’t quit your job, asked for extended unpaid leave. I think they’d hold your position for you as long as your leave isn’t a huge amount of time, hiring a new employee takes a lot of money and time. Another idea is to apply for companies that have 4 day 32-hour work weeks.
