Just been told by NewClientCorp that I am no longer required - they've finally managed to build the team up with a sufficient number of skilled permies

Bench in two weeks...

The amusing aspect of it was that (as I had noticed at the start, but had not mentioned) their legal department had a slip of the keyboard when drawing up my contract, so that it said that I was entitled to a six month notice period... on what was originally a six month contract

They mentioned it before I did, virtually pleading with me to accept that it was a mistake, and not to hold them to it

I graciously condescended to overlook the error, rather than calling in my brother (who's a partner in one of the country's top commercial law firms), because I'm nice like that

Also, these people are in the upper echelons of my field, and if I want to stay in said echelons myself, it makes sense not to get on the wrong side of them... everybody who counts knows everybody else in this game, and word gets around

Looking forward to this evening as i've joined a Brazilian Drummiing class (and the Brazilian is pretty annoyed I can tell you). We've got to practice as we're giving a public performance at the end of the course and the tutor is talking about giving another performance for charity at one of the clubs here in Edinburgh.......I'm going to be famous yet!!!

Anyway that's all my news for now - hope to catch up with you soon!

to you all (and to Brillo and Zeity)

poor KW

I probably haven't got the right technique so you'll have to teach me the appropriate moves before you go away again

just give us lots of
