Client co in full on panic stations. Asked if I'll make a guest appearance next week for two days as they are pooping it.

For double you normal day rate?

Tell them you already have another gig lined up. To cancel the other gig they'd have to sign you up for 6 months at current rate * 1.5.

Client Co just gave me a new project to do. Not huge but still a few days work at least. I am now 78 minutes from the end of the contract.

Client Permie just asked "can you give me updates as you progress"

I can see it now

CP : "Hows the project going?"
SP : "I'm having a cuppa and a think."
CP : "How long till you have a solution?
SP : "Oh, about an hour and a half."

SP "I'm just emptying my drawers?"

CP "Funny, I'm just filling mine
