      Sorry to hear that, even though you weren't too happy with the place.

        Ah, you remember.

        Oddly enough I made the effort & they told me they were happy with me. Can't say I'll miss the extreme agile stuff.

          You didn't have to high five in the car park and other tulip like that did you?

                    Never understood those of you who take next to no leave. Got a couple of contractors here with me - one guy hasnt taken a day off in 3 years!

                    Nuts. I contract so I can afford to take time off to do nice things like holidays with my family.

                    Not interested in working myself into an early grave....
