    I guess you're right - but that would fall under my BI category I think.
    I do SAP BI, and SAP HR. Both are "toot toot". Especially since HR at one of my clients has been centralised in order to save money in these difficult times. Other clients have laid off a proportion of their permanent staff, and so the middle managers are crying out for contractors, as the work needs doing, and contractors aren't headcount.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      I don't think he enjoyed it much.
      They can be very dangerous. I was told once that if I stood too close to the edge of the platform I might get sucked off.
      I went back every night for a month and never got any action, but I nearly got killed about a dozen times.

          Has anyone given serious thought to Undertaking - seems to be recession proof - I think you can now open one up franchise style but unsure as to whetther one needs qualifications - Gity and Guilds perhaps - is a sector which could do with some competition ie Pruffocks Happy Stiffs Special offers - two for the price of one - will better any of out competitors quotes - book early for massive discounts - etc

            Indeed, an undertaker is the last person to 'let you down'.

                Gulag for you!

                You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                      I'll just go back to the SAS if the contracting dries up, there's a secret mission they want me on.
