Official CUK bench - Late Summer 2015

[FatLazyContractor]

Cold rainy start.

Got emails from some Clientco teams about Windows login, laptop allocation etc.

No contract received however

[Gumbo Robot]

Got an interview on Monday. Poor rate but it's in Bath & I'd really appreciate not having to do a big schlepp after the last 3 months doing 2 hours each way.

[I just need to test it]

Had a cluster of Indian agencies ringing me this morning. I fought them off though.

I get that as well. Their calling number looks like its from London but actually they call from india
Now even recruitment agencies are being outsourced.

Offered two interviews but both for this morning. It's taken the one lot two weeks to come back with a date (for an assignment described as "URGENT" - their capitalisation) so let's hope they see the funny side now I've bumped them.

Nothing heard back from this week's interview yet, but they did say it may take a while.

In the meantime, another possible plus a phone interview today, went well and client wants a face to face next week...

Just like buses - don't see any for ages then they all come at once

Clientco hiring manager called this afternoon to let me know that the PO was already approved offline and that the PO will be approved on the system on Monday.

Once the PO is approved, the agency will get an automated email with the reference number and they will then send me the contract.

Looks like a few more days of faffing and fecking around at home.

In other news:

- had a tradesman come around to quote me for the much awaited electronic gate for FLC villa.
- Walked into the village post office to post some paperwork to the accountant.
- Got some marinated lamb steaks and wondering whether to use the gas BBQ or Charcoal BBQ (fecking first world problems...)
- Walked 6 miles after lunch and feeling good

Nowt else and I'm bored

Good luck this week fellow contract hunters.

Bought myself some new walking boots. Gelert. Very comfy.

Would you believe you cannot buy dubbin over the counter any more?

Had to order some from Amazon. There's a tack shop over in Flamstead so I might give them a call.

Just going to scoff this egg on toast then me and SY02 will take the mutts round the common for a leg stretch in our matching walking boots.
