    Been in that situation quite recently, and I agree with NAT, not only do you get the blame from all sides, Client blames consultancy, consultancy blames you. Client blames you for carppy requirements consultancy gave you. I also had to fill in 3 timesheets per week.

    Never again.

      It works for me because every time i get fed up up I look at it and say to myself, 'calm down, think about the Monet'
