      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        The 12 hour+ days are killing me. About to fly to the US for six weeks.

        Not worth the hassle.

          This is the problem with permiedom in the main.

          If you want £80K+ permie they expect 12 hour days, 7 days a week and endless travel and bulltulip.

          Since 50% then goes in tax, no thanks.

            I wondered when you would realise that.

            I don't mind my 12-14 hour days at the moment as the owner is me and I'll hopefully see the profits. Plus I'm learning a pile of stuff from eating the dog food which is identifying and fixing a fair few issues.

            As for doing it for other people never again.

              I certainly hope not...oh dear maybe I'm not cut out for permidom after all!

                  You are making profit from posting 12-14 hours on CUK?!?!?!
