    My client only made $56.96 million yesterday and they’re still running NT4 – you should see the state of the pipes as well….

      Did you get the four figure contract ? Were you off to Goa or Oz ?
      I quoted four figures because I didn't want the contract, so far I'm lucky. I am off to Goa next Sunday for 3 months. I will be looking for a new role in March. Hope thing will have picked up by then.

          If you get it though, will you be looking for a toyboy?

              Looking bleak on the freelance side. Will have to convert into a data modeller, tuner and system analyst who can do UML.

                      From what I have see, you will get to have the last laugh on that one. Just don't let it eat you up. Get on with your life, make plans and do something that will make you happy.
