    The trick is to be working on several client projects at once and whenever anyone asks, you are busy on the other project.

    Damn straight.

          ...and meetings.

          Currently 5 team scrums, 3 dev scrums, 3 data scrums and a weekly team meeting.

            Did I work with you recently?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Whatever the job code is for "not working today because there is no work, I'm a contractor not a permanent employee - you see that's the benefits of using a flexible workforce".

              Or the nearest equivalent - sometimes, it's as basic as "0 hours" or "Holiday".

                Maybe you should put the new coversheet on all the TPS reports before they go out.

                So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great.

                      Filling in complicated timesheets is a pain in the arse, but as long as it's done in billable time it's a lucrative pain in the arse.

                      Keep calm and invoice!
