    I'd love to work there or anything commutable from home. Ive done 20 months of a weekly commute to London and 14 months of a weekly commute to Geneva before that. And before the 18 months I spent in Leeds I did a year in Uxbridge. Sometimes I wonder why I pay a the mortgage on a house I never see!

    I had a pimp call me about a role in Halifax, who was going to send me a job spec through but didn't bother!
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      Then you are just a beginner.

      In 23 years contracting, the only work I did close to home was Radbroke Hall for 7 months. The rest, mainly London, with short stints in Oxford, WGC and Northhampton.

      Good job I don't have kids, as I'd have forgotten what they looked like.

        Car park gets very full, so plan on getting there well before 9:00 a.m.
        A few months ago that was the case, but since they got rid of a load of contractors and permies parking is ok now - Arrive around 9:30 and you will still get a space.

                Yeah, probably true.

                Mind you, it didn't help Accenture - they got booted too!

                      I remember being at traffic lights in Knutsford once when some guy knocked on the window and asked for a lift to Radbroke (he saw my pass). WTF! Told him to do one.

                      I hid my pass when driving for the rest of the gig.

                      Bastard, I only wanted a bloody lift.
