The first non-mentalist gig I have had for many years. I'm needed for what I can get done and what I know, not for being able to salvage bits from a car crash of a project in a mental institution.Originally posted by Zippy View PostSo apart from that Mrs Lincoln - how are you enjoying the gig?
With top totty.
I'm a very happy bunny.
Plus ... there have been 3 other niche area PM gigs advertised in the past 2 weeks and so the mobile keeps ringing with desperate agents (which made child @ Computer People's call to my desk phone stand out as different) and my rate is higher than the other 3. I really do feel like I have landed on my feet for once.

The market picked up dramatically on Friday (4 calls in, 2 calls out - 3 agents sending my CV 3 separate clients). It then died on Monday.
What's your trick eliquant (apart from constantly reskilling? - I'm looking at getting my bridging ITIL V3 qualification end of Feb if I don't get anything by the end of next week...)"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
