    You mean support roles are the only perpetual money making machines. I tend to agree.
    On Monday I was made unavailable to other needy projects until the end of the year. Gotta love .net toot-toot

      Yes, the 7 minute commute lured me in, I gave up a potentially long post go live falling asleep contract doing 3 days a week to take it. Might have made a clanger but we'll wait and see.

        I have to come clean, on this contract I have to work pretty hard, but on the flipside, getting fingers into every piece of new fangled on the market and all the installations, upgrades, integration, problem solving and with a potential downturn ahead this experience won't hurt

        Milan.

          I feel that we all forgive you for working hard as long as you get training on the job

              Then, when clientco begs you for an extention, you can increase your rate as now you have more skills than when they got you initially. Boomed!

                      I spat the hook out after 2 seconds of thinking about it as I was about to go into a tiraid about how Phish a passat is and as a contractor your car should cost no less than £35K
