Finish what? I thought they weren't giving you anything to do.
How do you know you've finished doing nothing?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I need to hand in my notebook today and in theory not book time from today

Wipe the notebook and then return it. Don't keep it as that could be considered theft.

Of course I'll return it lol. I was a bit sh*tty but I'll be fully compliant then insist they honor the contract and pay me

I'd wager that if you read your contract, there isn't squat in their about professionalism. That would be so subjective it'd be unenforceable.

My agency said the same.. They could refuse to pay me for gross misconduct, but not for documenting their it dept is useless

All of that is a bit odd.
Based on the US legal situation...
A contract usually requires that the contractor work when they want. There was actually at least one legal court case in the US years ago where it was determined that requiring specific hours was a determinate in whether a worker was an employee versus a contractor. An employer in the US is not allowed in quite a few cases to make a worker into a contractor just because they want to. If they could probably most fast food workers would be contractors.
At least for me if I am working a contract then I would specifically tell them ahead of time about holidays. Probably at least two weeks that I would not be working a specific day. I do that because it seems polite, probably implicitly required by the contract and because I don't expect them to be working either.
A contract of course should provide specifically how termination by either party is achieved. Not really much leeway. If it doesn't then I suspect immediate termination by either party is allowed.
I have never heard of a contract which could not be immediately terminated for cause. For example negligence, criminal, abandonment, etc. But the cause would need to be named.
I haven't worked anywhere ever where there was "no work". I remember working somewhere more than a decade ago where they were having difficulty coming up with requirements for the next release. I recall working on bugs, enhancing logging and looking into other improvements that I would not have had time for otherwise.

Certainly in the US that absolutely is not something one should do. Matter of fact with a contentious termination the contractor should video themselves putting it into a shipping box, video delivering it to the delivery service and require a signed receipt for delivery.

...and if they're paying for postage, remember to include a few bricks in the box. :-p

So we're talking about a public holiday. Had I worked it, I would have had to argue my case with my agency. My timesheet by default had the day blocked out

I've made a little C# app that detects the currently selected file in Windows explorer, and shoots it to a little IoT widget with an attached LCD screen.
Right now, it's just the filename and icon, but I can add whatever - a content preview or something.
The trouble is, it's not very useful. It's at best, a novelty, but maybe there's an angle I hadn't considered - some tweak I could do to it to *make* it useful.
Any of you have ideas?

Does it work when there are multiple Explorer windows?
|
|
|
|

It deals with whichever windows thinks is the most current.
I can grab all of them but the thing is that I can't really display much info in the case of multiple files on one of these little screens.

Sounds like the making of an aimbot 
|
|

Add a mapping layer in the C# code so that certain file extensions/matches deposit to different locations in the IoT file system.
Generic regex rules.
Add a debug option that displays the transfers that would occur.
Demo app for the device could be a rotating photo display.

There is no filesystem on the widget, but there is an SD card writer. Problem is transmitting over CDC USB Serial and then over 1 wire SPI to the SD card will be dog slow, so it's not much of an option as a "fancy jump drive with a screen"
rotating photo thing is what i think ships with the stock firmware for the device I'm currently using. I think I'd like to cover new ground.
I mean, i can show file content previews of the currently selected file in explorer potentially but to what end?

If the transfer is slow, then creating a batchable transfer might be useful. Setup a batch, then go eat your lunch.
Without the IoT, I have utilities that convert selected items to text lists in files and the clip board via Windows SendTo folder. It is a much simpler technique.
Didn’t you do some work with ZIP formats? Fonts? SVG? Combine this?
Good luck figuring it out.
Maybe adapt it for a different target device?
