        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Monday is last day at clientco for me - stopped looking for a new contracting gig last week.

          Start full time plan B on Tue and got first client ready to go.

          I will be a full time laptop in the garden person for a few hours a day.

          Gosh I might even start going to the gym in the mornings

          Will I miss the commute and office life... hmm maybe the banter and eye candy but I'm sure I can get that elsewhere

            Aren't Plan Bs supposed to be Something Completely Different? Yours sounds like yet more banging away at a PC, albeit at home instead of an office.

              What am I thinking of? Why the hell am I not in the garden?

              That's better.

                It’s very different from the ‘day job’ It’s internet marketing so I’m building my own sites and email subscriber lists, when fully up and running it’s quite passive. I’m at a crossover point now where I just need a few internet marketing/SEO gigs for other people to tide me over until my own sites/lists can support my lifestyle.

                I’ve flipping had enough of doing it around a 40 hour week day job – now I’ll be doing it as my full time living albeit for other people for a bit. Full time being a lot less than 40 hours a week, and I get to work in the garden and potter around and go to the gym etc when I feel like it.

                Much better than getting up, wearing a suit and shoving my way through the underground and all that malarky

                    I still do for the rest of the week - it can be OK.... it all depends on who you're squashed up against
