For me the run up to the end of the year is my busiest time. I got offered a lot of work over the holidays and could have booked my available time several times over with agencies who were desperate to place last minute projects. | |

Yes but that's because I make it so. I like/need to take some time off once in a while, keep in touch with friends, read, do a little sewing, and generally take my mind off work. | | |
Only because of my own choosing | | |

Not at the end of the year, since many people start refusing jobs as of the 20th od December (more or less) and I don't. But in January and part of February, the dynamics seem to be a lot slower. | | |
