    You might not get the public holidays at the same as others but you’re still entitled to them taken in lieu!

      Oh for sure. It was more the 2-3 weeks off at summer that I was envious of. Although I know lots of people still have to work as well, so I can’t complain too much.

        Come work on IT projects in government. There’s a contractor stand-down period for like 3 weeks over Christmas so even if you work there’s almost no one around (yes the government said they would cut down on use of contractors, they said a lot of things).

          The work has to be done whether it’s officially on the books or not.
