How many weeks/days did you work 2006?

[MarillionFan]

Oh well. Looks like it's just me who takes time off then.


Work to live. Not live to work boys.

You seen house price lately

[DimPrawn]

This year I worked Jan, Feb, March. Took April till Sept off and then worked Oct to Dec.

I like to take a reasonable holiday these days, and with no real mortgage and a Plan B generating about £50K pa I can afford to be a bit leisurely these days.



Which was nice.

"You seen house price lately "

No mortgage.

187 days, 4 contracts, 2 clients. Six weeks off in the summer. Pretty much the perfect balance, but it happened by accident, not design.

Hope I'm this lucky next year.

With any luck next year I'll manage to get at least a month in the summer time. This year I started a 6 month contract in May, and with commuting and being in an air conditioned office summer was something that happened to other people.

210 days, six stints at three different clients. A little bit of parallel working in there too.

VectraMan, don't knock air-conditioning. I haven't got it at home and that's where I mostly worked from through the summer (gasps!).

i did 37 weeks ths year.... which i am pretty happy about... about 6 of the missing weeks were planned and the other 9 were bench weeks but after the contract that lea it up to it they were a very welcome break in the end....

If you took absolutely no holidays, you would work 52 * 5 = 260 days per year, so I don't know where 240 comes from.

Anyway I did 252 days (approx 2,150 hours), but that was after 2005 where I took 4 months off.

Also noteworthy for 2006:

* best net profit year since 2001
* I only spent about 10k from my contracting income on living expenses! Plan B & C provided the rest. Which means that by 2009ish B & C income will be > expenses.

Plan B & C provided the rest.

Not been arrested yet then?
