Sick

[psychocandy]

So how longs the contract for?

Without getting into the argument about the rights and wrongs of canning it, doctors note doesnt come into it. Your a contractor not an employee - you dont have to prove anything.

Theoretically, you could tell them your too ill to continue. Likely will be VERY unhappy though but not a lot they could do.

OP, listen to this man. He is the expert.

Theoretically they can ask me to perform the contract. And if I say too ill, I would be expected to perform outside of date or give documentary proof why I cant? Is this correct? Offcourse this they can only do when they sue me.

I have 2 month left on it and want to ditch the last month as possibly I can pull 1 month through.

You could try actually answering some of the questions asked of you so we can give you a reasonable answer. Just picking on bits and pieces with no facts looking for the answer you want to hear is hardly helping you.

Are you paid by day or on a fixed rate for the job.

If by day, ask if you can terminate by mutual consent. If not, start doing a really bad job.

So, just 8 weeks left and you are quite happy to do 4 of those.

IMHO, I'd just do the full 8 weeks and then be done with it. Everyone walks away happy.

I appreciate how you feel - believe me, I've felt the same way in many contracts over the last 25 years - but really, you've just 40 days or so to go, so just grin, invoice and bear it.

If you are sick you are sick. You don't plan sick unless something else is going on in the background you are planning for and haven't told us.

I still want to know if you are physically ill or just sick and tired of it.

Thanks thats one choice I continue to exercise, but everyday is a war now ! When I say 1 month, it means stretching myself without spilling the coffee on clients face (entirely due to my own frustation). The relationship with client is important but I also want to check the law. (what if I HAVE TO throw the towel away!)

And no I cant get out doing bad job because client is clueless about what I am doing. (it happens), he is just a torture to me because he wants to see me onsite every single day and assumes that assures work (although I can do from home way better).

(its like I have SLA of a ticket a day, where in reality I resolve tickets 10 a day, so I quite sit idling away almost 90 pc of time)

Spill coffee on the client's desk. Repeatedly.
