Good and bad clients

[FatLazyContractor]

Do you build the warchest so you don't have to work if you choose not to?

Or do you work to build the warchest?

tulip warchest, tulip client -> Stay

Good warchest, tulip client -> Bugger off.

What's the confusion?

Best, banking client only operated a notional 35 hour week, able to work 4 day week for nearly 4 years.

Worst, utilities client with a stupid bitch who was supposedly a test manager (how you got that position Nina god only knows). Sent some minnions along to do the interview and I ended up interviewing them to find out what the role was. She wasnt on site for the first 3 days after I turned up, was too busy to discuss what the project tasks were when she was, tried to question my skills which were not a requirement for the job spec she had written (which I shoved under her nose to prove they were not).

Oh, and she was duplicitous to cover her own failings. She told another contractor to their face they were being extended then a few days later, agency phoned contractor they were not being extended as she didnt think they were good enough!

Best: Work from home, minimal interruptions from client, left to get on with my work, brought in as an expert and treated as such.

Worst: hated the project, the people, the client, the ultimate purpose of the system, and the location. Paid well though.
