Client was looking for an R programmer for about three days of work, and asked if I could source one. I genned up on the language over the weekend and told the client that while I'd no direct experience of R, I could probably help out. They've just told me they've got the budget approved. So just three days of work, but a new skill on the CV. (And I'll almost certainly be able to use R in other places with the client).
