What's going on with you contractors Jan is a whole 2 months ahead, many would think a 2 months contract is OK.
Also anything could happen in the next 2 months, requirements change, testing fails, new project, or old project that require second phase..... if not in the same place in other places... so what if you stay off work during Jan???
Oh are your in-laws arriving while you are on the bench?
