Would you not go on a booked holiday to secure a contract?

May the sweaty smell of a thousand camel testacies haunt your sleep

Funny you should mention that...... I thought they were cooking my dinner!

Tell the burd you have to work and tell your work for have to go on holiday.

They will both come round and you get 2 weeks to yourself. Beer and spank mags 24/7.

Told the agent about the holiday.

Offer rescinded.

Exactly as I thought.

But your missus will have a family holiday.

Which is nice.

Yeh. It will be caravan parks and £1 holidays from the Sun from now on!

I never take holidays during contracts. I recently went nearly 4 years without having a holiday excluding Christmas and Bank Holidays.

If I had a holiday booked after a contract ended then another job came along which needed an immediate start then, the job has to wait and I'd take the hols.

Easy choice to make as a Billy-No-Mates singleton loser, but if you had a family/friends it might be different.

Tell the family it's holiday or contract, contract will bring in about £15k, you're more than happy if they holiday without you, this contract could let you get more work close to home in the future. See what they say and gauge the money+future prospects against how much resistance you get. DON'T promise another holiday in two months, in case the same thing happens then with extensions, etc.

edit: oh, too late. Why did you tell the agent, rather than asking?

I dont need a break.

The missus seems to feel she needs breaks/holidays all the time. Which is surprising considering she hasn't worked for almost two years, her sister has lived with us for almost 18 months and I see more of her parents than I have seen of mine in the last 20 years.

I could do with the break from all of them!

You seriously need to man up. Her sister is free-loading, your missus doesn't work, and her inlaws are sponging a holiday from you.
Grow a pair, seriously

Thanks for the advice. I've thrown the in laws out, socked the missus in the mouth and ****ed her sister. The kids have been taken into care, I've lost the house and I'm in court next week.

Glad I listened to you.
