I try for 6 months or there abouts.... sometimes I work 8 months like last
year. It's a high stress-load job that entails a minimum of 12 hour days
7days a week. Every 3 weeks or between contracts I get a few days off. On
average.... 80 to 100 hour work weeks are pretty standard... so is the
seasonal employment aspect... unless I want a deadbeat office job, on
salary, year round, with a pension, like Donal!

Which actually speaking I could land a full time job in a heartbeat......
but seriously... would you consider that any way to live?

Did I mention that I always get Kick Ass Refunds on my taxes!!! 8K last
year!! Combine that with my employment insurance and it's like doubling my
wage!!

I love this country!!

I couldn't care less about what happens in Canada. If your
government is
happy to pay you to sit on your arse, that is their problem. If
you came
to
live in England, then I might get a bit upset!!

Well...... I can't believe you would take such a haphazard
attitude to the
benefits of government subsidized vacation time Donal! I pay into
the
insurance plan.... so what is the ethical problem in taking
advantage of a
program I subsidize??? There is no employment in my line of work
during the
winter..... in my area. I am merely taking advantage of my climactic
conditions and recouping a small portion of the ridiculous taxes I'm
forced
to endure.

Do you find yourself burdened by your self imposed ethics?
