Family illness etc - chances might have to can gig

[eek]

A different outlet? Hang on - what have we here a forum full of people in similar situations doing similar work who might empathise a little.

We did to begin with. Now you come out as a sub-suity suity without the funny anecdotes and stories that he provides.

Flippin heck FAQQER bit harsh. In this instance, I am moaning maybe but its about the situation than the contract/client. Hardly their fault is it?

Cant exactly predict the health of family members can I? Or are you saying I should check family members health before taking on any contracts?

One of the benefits of working for yourself is that you are part of a flexible workforce. You have the flexibility to adjust when you work, and who you work for.

In this situation, you have a choice of either

• Leave the contract and spend time at home
• Stay in the contract, man up and stop whining
• Stay in the contract and keep bleating
• Stay in the contract, discuss the situation with the client, and arrange cover

The best of these is the last. A number of people have suggested this, and every time has come back with a whinge about how it's not that easy, or money doesn't buy everything...

The next best is to leave the contract, which is what I would have done.

The worst options are to keep moaning that you aren't getting the answer that you want here.

The second option doesn't sound realistic.

+ 1. Suity is like a well-loved doubly incontinent family pet. Lose the well-loved and it's not so good.
