Is Contracting worth it? - What do you thinK?

Play the role of the attention seeking child, all women with a strong maternal attitude won't be able to resist. Show that you are useless without her

Hey! You aren't as stupid as you appear Francko! (PS. I must point out that this is a joke as I know you are sometimes a bit oversensitive - only to be expected from foreign sorts). I often play the child and it works! A nice lady changed my nappy only last week and it only cost me £70 quid!

Morose? Well a bit. You do seem a trifle concerned about ageism and other isms before you really need to. Stop being so concerned! Who cares if an ism only affects somebody else? Last week the office cleaner came along and swept me into her bin with the other old rubbish. Was I worried? Of course not!

I am strongly in favour of mannerism, so as you can see I am not affected by ismism.

I don't know. Guess it's a very english thing.

I don't understand while people keep mentioning extraordinary events about their work, trying to justify one way is better than the other. That is not related to contract/perm situations, it's just about being in a lucky position in a lucky company.

We've found our very own English version of vorsprung durch technik!

Conversely, Franco, just because you've had a lifetime of bad luck and a miserable past couple of years doesn't mean the rest of us aren't on a rollercoaster trip of a lifetime!

I hate my client. My client is full of feckless simpletons who can't even grasp the rudiments of what a contractor is and can do.
I hate agents. Scum of the Earth. I want to puke with rage every time I speak to one.

It's not healthy to be so full of bitterness and anger.

Go and have a 15 minute Crap . Calculate how much it's cost the client, that should cheer you up no-end!

Au contraire mon ami. The best project I had was a contract, the worst project I had was a contract. And I am quite happy where I am now too as permie. It's only that I don't think that we should make a banale stereotype that contracting is by default better. It can be, it might not be, it doesn't need to be.
