    I don't "get today off" (not very contractor-friendly phrase, permies get allowed to have days off, but you know what I mean), just Monday

          Well, I guess some of them were working quite hard on the original Good Friday, what with all that crucifying to organise and so on. Maybe they're just commemorating that.

            This client closes their office in Sept for 2 days and for 7 days at Xmas/New Year so no choice for contractors.
