Now you gotta wait all WE to find out, bummer. -
I wouldn't automatically assume the worst. Clients do that, and more so recently - I've had it a couple of times this year, delays while they "get signoff" and all that internal BS (You'd think they'd have it all sorted up front.)Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post
On the other hand, obviously you can't yet assume the best either. What a bummer for the weekend. Oh well, f*** 'em. What more can you do now until next week?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

RC, it's probably nothing bad, I've been waiting on a company in the Midlands, they seem to love to take their time.
It's taken me 4 weeks to get from e-mail to start date and I've still no paper work although I've seen their normal conditions.Comment

Got offered my last gig on the same day as the interview. Then had to wait TWO weeks for the paperwork. Relax dude. All will be ok.
Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Agents are playing silly buggers at the moment, I had an email from Hays this evening with 5 attachments that needed my attention before I can start my new gig with BT.
The strange thing is I've not had any contact from Hays in 6 years and don't know anything about a BT gig???Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Yes. I have the beer in the 'fridge for the purpose.Originally posted by Zippy View Post
At 8pm we popped out the front to pick up the fallen apples (now the wasps have had their fill) and the Missus pulled the front door shut behind her.
The locksmith got us back in about ten minutes ago.

Is the money much better than the less-than-ideal work you have now?Originally posted by gingerjedi View Post
Fill it in, send it off, and turn up. You might get to invoice for a few day's pay out of it!

Opt out, bank details, official secrets act etc etc... Everything but the contract.Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post
I did some work for BT through Hays 6 years ago so I'm starting to think there may be some sort of 'ghost worker' scam going on but no-one told the secretary to keep me out of it.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
