yes you can.....

I think that it all depends on who  you work for.  I am an IC and not an employee and I set my own hours.  I work whenever I want and whenever I don't want.  If I want to take the day off, I do and I don't tell anybody about it.  I dont have to ask permission, I just take the day off, or the week.  I work as much or as little as I want.  No I am not lying and no I am not telling the name of my company.  I don't need everyone going and flooding them with resumes!!!!!
