Am I beyond help?

[pmeswani]

Thankfully leaving home at 6am means my commute is just 45 minutes.

As for crappy salary – seen how low the contract rates are these days? That is, if you can find one?? At least I get back to my own home by around 4pm every day……

My rates haven't changed by much. In fact IT Security contracts have remained fairly steady for the past 2 years. Some companies pay more since the recession has started in order to attract quality contractors. Where as with permies... companies know that they can get away with paying tripe because they know some people want "Job Security".

I've just got a rate rise. I haven't got a corner desk though.

I've just got a rate rise. I haven't got a corner desk though.

I have a behemoth of a desk salvaged from scrap, which my wife keeps trying to get me to throw away. I did have to saw off about 18 inches to make it fit in my study when we reorganised things but it's still too wide for me to reach both ends and too deep for me to reach the back leaning forward from my seat It's staying until we move, wife or no wife!
