Vacation

So I have to vent agian this morning! So I am going on Vacation from the 24th of September until the 14th of October... Yes its a long time 13 days off work. Which is EXACTLY what I have off of work.... This has been planned for nearly a year right! Someone at my work keeps wanting to throw out huge digs that this is such an inconvience and that I really should try to leave later or come back earlier! WTF? I have 13 paid vaction days, I haven't complained when you took your time off work to do anything. Sure mine is all together and it will make you have to work some more but Maybe if I am such a Valuable Employee I shouldn't be the least paid out of all 155 employees right> GRRR this just pisses me off!
