    I'm in ITIL Implementation... it's such a shame that none of the agents understand the difference between someone who's blagging it and someone who's got their Red Badge AND ISO20000!!! Having said that, as long as you're flexible you might get something ITIL, but apparently there's about 300 apps for each ITIL gig at the moment!

            If it is the same client I suggest we fight. Cage fight like they do in schools nowadays?
            Could be although they have come back and said they would be interested in taking me back again, directly... Excellent.

            Just trying to figure out what daily rate I should pitch at...?
