Day one: Turned up and the client was the usual disorganised shower of .... Played minesweeper for a few hours and then went home. That was the easiest £500 ever. Ker-ching!

Personally, when I turn up and discover that ClientCo is a disorganised pile of shytte, I always make a conscientious attempt to help get things organised and make things more effective and efficient. If this attempt succeeds, which it sometimes does, I then play as full a role as possible in helping ClientCo to do things well. If that attempt doesn’t succeed I then conclude that ClientCo is incapable of learning and resort to the practice described in Pondlife’s post.

They pay me for my expertise, so if they want their money's worth they should bloody well use my expertise.
