Did I read this correctly!?

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.

Taken from a CUK article in response to a contractors question about holidays and cv's, the so called expert said;

"You might be daring enough to convince the reader/interviewer to the contrary, but taking a month off to sunbathe in Majorca does not project a positive image of a professional contractor capable of delivering work accurately and in a timely or specified period. "

WTF!?
