I've had around 3 months off this year.
The contract I'm in now has provided a cushion due to a very healthy rate rise
Also its all in absolute chaos.

Chickens coming home to roost.
An approach that I suggested 6 months ago had a hells chance of working and argued until I was blue in the face (you should have heard the language) has been forced in, in my absence .
Shame the fecker performs like a sticky turd and cannot join to the required database dimensions without losing all the records.
Oh, I should add it takes around 4 hours to run even with a couple of dimensions that you can join to.
Not too bad for some ETL jobs but not a feckin' report
The DB Architect who has just seen this total abortion suggests it won't aggregate (add up correctly) either, even if you can solve the joining issues.
Something else I pointed out 6 months ago.
