Total number of days off this year

[Clippy]

No, more. How much exactly, I don't know without looking it up. Probably 20-25 days I reckon.

Wash your mouth out, Clipster!

erm let me see.. time off.. 2007

2 weeks in april
9 weeks mid june - aug

same as xen, a contractor who enjoys hol's

[NotAllThere]

I took 11 weeks off this year. I think a "true" contractor either takes loads of time off, or very little. 25 days is very suspicious.

For the first quarter, I'll only be working 4 days per week. One day off for skiing.

[Xenophon]

Just the way it has worked out this year, NotAllThere. Typically it does tend to be at either ends of the scale - i.e. a great deal or virtually none.

Final count = 12, so a lot less than I thought.

What He Said

A short-hand way of agreeing with your 'no, next..' post.

<slaps head> doh!

[ChimpMaster]

12 is more like it.

I have seen that next year will be the year of hell, or will lead into the year of hell 2009. Hence why it's a good idea to batten down some hatches and make sure you have made hay while the sun shone.

[lilelvis2000]

I've had about 10 planned days off and about 20 unplanned days. 'course most of the planned days were bank holidays...

[Sockpuppet]

Erm...

I'm running about 90 days so far. Sweet.


Work life balance thing is in the bag.

I've taken 1 week (5 days) and about five single days over long weekends since starting as a contractor in April. Mind you, I'm having two and a half weeks off over Christmas (most of it client shutdown) and a week off skiing in Feb. That will total about 23 days....oops!?
