It's not a case of bad client per say but the project we were employed to work on back in September hasn't actually kicked off yet, and the politics are a total nightmare, it is due to go live end of jan but I suspect it will be put back again or even cancelled.
Not in the best part of town and the commute is a bit tedious.Comment

On one hand we're supposed to act like a business etc, etc. But on the other hand where a business might have no problem with being paid for 6 months to do nothing, we as professional individuals can't necessarily afford to have that kind of black hole in our CV.Comment

Since the contract has been terminated, there is no further discussion to be had about going back, unless they are talking about a new contract.
For future reference, send the email first, then ring them and speak to them - opening line "I've just sent you an email, have you got it?"Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment

Do not worry about bad feelings etc. If, in 6 months time, they think they can make money out of you they will kick down a wall to get to speak to you as if you are best mates.Comment
