Default Too Good To Be True?

My boss just told me today i'm getting a full week off in August. Last year I only came home to sleep. Work was like 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., literally. He tells me hes going to Seattle that month and we get the week off. Man that'll feel wierd, free time in summer?!?! It'll be like 5th grade all over again.

Does it carry over at her workplace? If so she'* lucky. I know mine, and more companies now, are not allowing people to carry their vacation time over to th following year.
