My customers will be off for 2 weeks starting next week. I've already made plans to work a 2nd job (normally my 2 Saturdays a month gig) for at least 8 of those days. OK, the 2nd job is unsupervised and mostly boring so I will actually be coding for my consulting job from another office.

I'm not. Instead I'm shutting down in an hour or two and will be out until the 2nd, which is still a 14 day break!
Plus the 2nd and 3rd will likely be pretty dead so it gives me time to get caught up on any stuff I missed and ease myself back into the groove.

I'm off the 23rd thru the 2nd. Plan to spend my holiday writing code (Android), playing and recording music, and decluttering my home (or at least one bedroom).

I'm doing exactly that, but only the 25th, 26th and 1st are officially recognized as statutory holidays. The extra days come out of my vacation pool. Which I'm ok with, since--even after this--I'm still bringing forward another 7 leftover (unused) vacation days into 2020.
I hardly take time off during the summer, so it pays off at this time of year. 2019 was unusual, in that I've burned through 4 weeks last summer, as I still had many unused days from the previous year. Otherwise I risk either losing them, or getting them paid out (which the tax man makes it not worthwhile - I need the time more than I need the extra money).

Except that a lot of companies nowadays, if you take vacation days adjacent to holidays, the holidays are counted as vacation days, not paid vacation days. Another way "the man" s**** you over.

Oddly enough it must be missing multiple times. That's why they always reference The First Noel.
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

This may have been discussed here before, so my apologies if I missed it. I did search on here before posting.
Do any of you have experience or suggestions about finding remote work as a programmer?
I’ve been a software engineer for a long time, and for a number of reasons, would prefer to take contracts or direct hire to work remotely.
Do recruiters have any interest/clientele in matching us up with remote work jobs?
What methods do you use to find remote work jobs (contract or direct hire)?
Any interesting stories about remote work jobs you have had?
Thanks in advance.

"remote" as in far flung places ( @daveauld comes to mind) or off-site / work from home?

For me, work from home. Others may be interested in remote “far flung” locations for jobs, though. Good point you made.

Or remote as in 'TV Remote' ?
Would coding something like TeamViewer be considered remote work?
|
|
|
|
|
Or maybe remote work as in "There is a remote chance this code will work!"
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Hi!
I like remote. I've even don't really mind the monthly commute!
The weather's better in Cyprus and Qatar than Scotland, and I don't have to endure the sound of Nippy on the telly every night!

I have not done real "remote work" but the last assignment meant three days work at home during the week and 2 days at location (45 km away ). I really enjoyed that as I had a lot less traffic stress in this godforsaken country ( Belgium ) of eternal traffic jams.

I guess I've lucked out and have a "regular" full-time job (not contract work) only, the company I work for doesn't really have an "office" so everybody works from home. It was presented to me as a perk, but as it turns out, I couldn't "go to the office" even if I wanted to.
The boss did rent out a tiny office we can meet at, but that had more to do with him needing to get out of the house rather than needing a formal office place. Only the boss has an actual desk; the rest of the place is filled with old hardware, a conference table and a bunch of chairs. It doesn't even have a phone or internet (his laptop uses his smartphone's internet connection). All very minimalistic.
Pros and cons are another discussion altogether, and I don't think that's what you were after. Suffice it to say that for me, it's been over 12 years, and I've never looked back. I'm hoping I can stretch this out until retirement.
