    I'm a few days into my new contract. Today is my 3rd!!!

    But I would like to book a holiday as soon as I get paid. Would it be a problem if I was to ask the client for a weeks break in October?

      I was frowned upon for going on honeymoon for 2 weeks, 6 weeks into my current contract. I had however made it perfectly clear at interview, so it was their choice. They obviously thought I was the man for the job honeymoon or no.
      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

        WTF!?
