So good news and bad news.
The bad news is my client can not meet the demands of my contractor to increase my pay rate enough to let me have some and actually get that raise they want to give me. It’s really ridiculous. So, I might be on the hunt for a new contracting company. I hope it works out because depending on how stubborn my contracting company wants to get, it could get really nasty.
As for the good news, I’ve been informed I have to decide by tomorrow what vacation I’m taking for the rest of the year and I have 63 hours to take. In my world, that’s 10.5 days. So I’m going to take next Monday off since my client company has it off even though my contracting company doesn’t. Then I’m taking off December 20-January 1. That means after this week I have two short weeks this month and then only have to work 2.5 weeks until 2008. Yay!
I’m very jealous about that time off. I have NO TIME for the rest of the year since I had to use 6 vacation days this year for my sick kids because Denis didn’t have vacation time saved at his new job.
