    As you probably won't be able to finish the work perhaps providing a framework of how to complete the task will be useful i.e. follow these steps.

    I was once describing a report I'd finished, that needed UAT, to a buxom colleague in the middle of the office and advised her that "I've chested, er, tested it myself"

      Finish the job.
      Good for your self esteem and professional pride.

      as far as the scouser is concerned, well that depends on whether you are happily married or not

        Oh, if I had a quid for every missed opportunity....... I'd have £5 by now

        P.S. Seriously for a sec, well done for resisting.

        Hold on... Did I miss something here? Where did the thread jump from SY01 asking a laudable question regarding professionalism during the end of a contract to him resisting the charms of a large pair of norks?

        I think Dickie is the person to blame for the swerve...

          My advice would be to be extremely careful as an affair at work can backfire very easily. When you meet choose a location where no-one knows you, and wear a hat and dark glasses just in case.

              Sorry to hear the news about your leaving

              I'd complete the job as much as you can, and do a good handover. It won't be forgotten

                  He's just been canned, and most of the content of his post was a diatribe about some vunerable bird in the office . You're p1ssed as you've only got a week left to get in there.

                  If I had a week notice, I'd spend it on the phone securing my next contract, not worrying about a pair of tits and a shiitty database.

                    It's not all bad.

                    Just broke the news to a few permie colleagues as they might need to know stuff before I go. After the obligatory surprised and shocked responses, one commented on how I was the first contractor "in a long while not to leave under a cloud". Apparently there is a track record of contractors getting hacked of and jumping ship.

                    To that end that have organised dinner for next Monday night. Which was nice.

                      2/10 for trolling. Pathetic.
