>I see 57 people online right now? Is not a holiday for everyone? Here it is Good Friday, which is a paid govt holiday. For government workers, banks and big companies Monday is also a holiday as well.

In Holland the same. I was given the choice, as all others were too. I opted for FREE. But hey, I can opt out every day, because I'm paid by the hour, and I'm principally the one who decides which hours. The client isn't allowed to tell me which hours I have to work. That would incline that I'm an employee instead of an independent, hired developer. The contract speaks only about a number of hours a week, in principle.

So, this day costs me a lot of money. But the sun is shining and money isn't currently my biggest concern. I have stopped quite some time ago feeling guilty for not working a billable hour. Although I still prefer to tank up on my way home, rather than on my way to the customer.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
