Working away from home

[scooterscot]

Hang in there people it's get better with networking...

4 nights away was typical in my early years and I hated it. I'm down to 2 nights away now and it's all down to building trust with clients.

SC I hear you scream, well I've had jobs where SC is required and still I'm taking my work away with me.

Building trust is the key to working offsite more often.

Let me say it again just in case it did not get through - trust, ken? Trust... it's like hard work but it works, honest...

I've been here for 10 months and they won't consider it for contractors. Asi it's the 2nd furthest away from home it's bloody annoying

My first contract was in Kent, when I was living in Wiltshire. My second contract was in Somerset - but by then I'd moved to Essex...

I hate being away from home, but hate having no income much more. As does the wife. It's just something that goes with the territory. And even with weekly commuting, I'm able to take more holidays. The worst was a very early flight Monday morning, and a very late flight Friday evening.

For the past 4 years though, I've been in contract 20 mins from home. And I've just picked up a concurrent one that I can fulfill from my home office.

I'm leaving 'er indoors anyway so if i have to live elsewhere just might end up nearer a decent gig

I'm finding that if I fill my evenings with stuff it's not so bad.

Another option not on the poll:

• We cannot spend time apart so she packed up her career and created a new one, self-employed, so she could follow me around the country and now she works from hotel rooms so that we can always sleep together.

We didn't get married to live apart.
