What are personal and sick days? Anybody care to explain to me?
Where I work I have 20 days paid holiday per year (does not include weekend days)- this is fairly standard in Portugal. I don't know about sick days...I don't get sick often and my boss doesn't actually count...but I work in a small company so that's probably why.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
