So, there i was then, saying how run down, drained and plain shagged out i'm feeling when the list with the number of paid holidays left to take arrived on my desk ...

I've got 15 whole days to use before the 19th of june ;@)

I should, by rights, be as happy as the proverbial cat that's just had the cream

What bugs me though, is that whenever i take time off, my invoicing gets shot to hell and i can guarantee that there'll be a shitstorm of dumbass stupid stuff waiting for me when i get back

In a normal company, when you've not taken all of your holiday, allowance, you get paid for it

Whereas in a rip-off, shyster company *ahem* you lose it ...
