    Erm - probably I should run away

    Just got a call from a pimp (who placed me at my last gig so at least I know this isn't a fishing trip).

    Asked me if I wanted a short contract 4 weeks at an old employers. Problem is when I was at this old employers (i was permie) I got erm....offered a lot of money to not turn up to work again

    This is a different site but still wonder if I should go back.....they'd technically be paying me the same I got in a week in a day now so I think its worth it.

    Oh, I'd go for it. And seek out the people who were involved in your payoff while you're there, just to say hello. Best take the Porsche, and have a wad of £20 in your shirt pocket.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Evil but I like it. Life is too short not to exploit such simple pleasures.

        I've done this and it was very profitable - also it was nice to see that nothing had changed in the intervening 2 years - they hadn't moved on where as I had
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            I don't understand - you were made redundant?

            Or you were so bad they bribed you to leave?

                Is there a difference?
