When are we all finishing for Christmas ?

[G8_Summit]

Finish Fri 21st, off for 2 weeks (enforced due to client shutdown)

The worst time of year to be off IMO

Chan,

Chantho, you forgot your "Chan".

Tho.

I had every intention of taking 24th – 1st off but now the client says I am not allowed on site between those dates anyway, should I kick up a fuss and try and get compo for hours lost?

My client is letting everyone take the 24th off.. but I am working it. And starting again on 27th. No family but the wife in the UK and its easy money over this time. work a very short day and still invoice.... sweet.

21st Dec - 2cnd Jan first decent amount of time off all year cant wait!!!

[SuperFranco]

27 Dec - 7 Jan / despite lots of resistance. Resistance was less when I stated that I wanted to quit.

Thanks for the reminder. I have now moved the onus to the reader of the posts, as mentioned in my new sig. So far you are the first to take this option.

Last day 21st. Haven't decided whether to pop in over Christmas - it's peaceful at the office, the roads and trains will be half-empty, and every little helps (tm).

Trouble is, I fancy a bit of golf in Whipsnade.

We've been TOLD that we can't have any days off due to a go live. They are muttering about weekends also. I can feel an extreme case of 'personal problems' coming on !

[Bright Spark]

Client was insisting that I come in over holiday period as nobody
else in the team is around to provide support, but good old
Tfl managed to organise some repair works near liverpool street station,
which means the line I normally travel on will be closed.

So I'm finishing up on 21st dec and coming back on 2nd Jan..

We've gone live early so my screensaver has already kicked in, although I'll be sitting in front of it until the 21st - after all, every little helps(tm). Still don't know there's something to come back to after that - change of regime, new world order etc.
