He was absolutely great as J.R. but to us baby boomers, he has to be better known for I Dream of Jeannie. I can still recall watching that show as a teenager and shaking my head in disbelief every time Jeannie would make a pass at him and he'd turn her down. So here was a guy in his late 20's (?), who has the most beautiful woman in the world at his beck and call whenever he wants her and he'd rather go play golf. Yeah....ok....now I could understand that coming from Robert Reed (Mike Brady) or Dick York (Bewitched) who were both gay but not Major Anthony Nelson! Nice piece Eddie.

As someone who has this "perk" at their company let me list the downsides, because honestly, I HATE this policy...
- You are never "entitled" to vacation, because you don't accumulate days. This means that it's up to your manager to approve or deny ANY vacation time.
- Since you never accumulate days, you can never bank vacation for a longer trip
- Since you never accumulate days, you can never get paid for unused vacation time, which is mandated by law (tricky!)
- Since you are not "entitled" to days off, most people actually take fewer days off, thus the company is kind of ripping you off.

Just my two cents and someone who's been cranky about not having defined "vacation" for the last 4 years...

No one's ever gone for four weeks? I live in the UK and started this year with 44 days leave to take. I'm every year I roll leave over to the next year as I've no great need to take it.
