How does the wife reward you after a day's work?

Well tonight we're having a chiminea, roasting some marshmallows and I shall be sipping fizzy non alcoholic wine while the wife has some Rose.

What's wrong with you? Given up on alkie?

What's wrong with you? Given up on alkie?

For a bit, yes. It's a depressant.

Plus if I have a drink I'll want a fag. So best lay off for a wee while.

Well FLC did you get the gig?

2nd interview tomorrow with the mob in the Midlands that can't make a decision.

Had a call this morning with CVAndInterviewAdvisors, who are going to rewrite my CV. Very impressed with them so far.

Pimp : I have secured you a 2nd interview slot with the client in the Midlands. They promise to give a decision in 2 days for this developer role.

<Poodle up there this morning>

ClientCo: Welcome for his informal chat. We really don't have a role right now but might do in the coming months.
Suity : <Grimace> OK sure how can I help?

<Poodling home>

Pimp : How did the interview go?
Suity : They said it wasn't a second interview, but an informal chat and there isn't a role.

Pimp : I'm surprised at that.
Suity : I'm not. I told you they were a bunch of timewasters and you are flogging a dead horse.

I just love being pricked about. Really I do.

But you can claim the business miles as an expense, and you didn't have to paint any walls

So you're up again next week then. Yes?

[Dark Black]

Today's excitement:

Got up, checked cwjobs email - nothing suitable

Had breakfast

No calls

Went out to watch Battle of Britain flypast from a field near Goodwood - fantastic sight, bit emotional

No calls

Home for tea.

Settling down to watch flypast coverage on ch4 later

Had a call from a pimp this morning so there is signs of life.

He didn't have a gig mind, just checking if I was looking and what my day rate was. A "health check" if you will.

Still it's some activity.

Market does look eerily quiet for this time of year though (in the code monkey space).

[SimonMac]

Contract ends next week, not even looked at the market, but then again even a "boom time" for my skill set is only one or two real jobs a week on the boards (not including the 5 or 6 pimps flogging the same job)
