Contractor wisdom that you live by <one liners only>

[northernladuk]

I've had a great idea...

It would be useful to get some of the more experienced people lurking around here to share their knowledge. ( I am not one by far )

<one liners> are easy to read. Humor is a plus as it makes it enjoyable to read and easier to assimilate.

I also needed some utter crap to fill the post out with and come up with..It seems that contracting is slowly becoming a dying breed(no surprise, writing was on the wall long time ago) as the employer class is trying to push more people further into the wage cage.(but if market does well, we all do well so we should encourage more sharing)

I made one up that's utter bullox really but something like...

"An agent with a role is like dog with a bone - if you do not hear about the role in the first 60s, there is no role"
