Also, some places, like my H's job, have the sick and vacation days in the same pool. So, say, if you ended up having the flu in January and are out for a week, then you have 5 fewer vacation days to use...
And sometimes when you first start a job, like my previous job, you can't take any sick or vacation days for, say, 60 days. So if you get deathly ill, you either have to drag yourself into work or not get paid for that day. I sat there one day with chills and fever from a tetanus shot that morning because it was my third week and I didn't want to lose a day of pay. It really sucks...
