I have eleven days worth of holiday left, and it's looking like I can't actually take them because we're so fucking busy. I *might* be able to get the money for the days, but I'm not sure.

I wouldn't mind but the only reason I have all these days left over is because I couldn't afford to go on fucking holiday in the first place.

If you can't get the money, then at least carry it over to next year.

Our holiday system sucks. It's Jan through Dec. If we don't take holidays, we lose em. No cash, no roll over.

I'm in a similar position to turk, got 6 days to take, and no time to take em :/

If they wont give you the cash instead insist on the holiday, they have to honour them legally.

Don't take shit because theres 'work to do', you have rights regardless of workload.

It's part of our requirement that we make sure we take our holidays. You're only meant to carry over a maximum of 3 days. But then, our company is big on deterring people from working extra hours - there's no overtime, ever. You have to have a really good reason not to have taken as many days off as you can.

I like it.

They don't carry over. We're supposed to take them too, but we've all been so busy working like idiots most of us didn't even notice we had days left.

I'm past caring now, I'd rather have the bloody money.

Still sat at my computer. Another red-eye day over and done with. Cobbled this together in an hour while proofreading my little brothers essay at the same time, I am a fucking machine at the moment. It's far from finished, but it's a start. I still think Flash is unneccesary, but if the client wants animation then I'm not going to argue, money in my pocket!

Haha, true! This isn't exactly a holiday, we're basically going out there and finding the nearest jazz/drugs hole and staying there til Sunday night.

And I've already paid for it too, so no cancelling this time. Amazingly the only money I have to spend is money I'm getting paid cash in hand tonight for a quick web job I took on.

Stupid money, bah!

getting a bit bored of working. i was thinking of quitting then moving in with my rich mate and she could look after me and keep me in the manner i'm accustomed to. or better. but herself and her boyfriend have decided to live together. he's stolen my plan! as he doesn't work, has no plans to, won't pay her any rent and will live off her. lucky fucker.
