      You rotten tease!

      You get us all upset for you and then it turns out there's nothing happened!

      I hope some horrid German steals your deck chair by the pool.



      You do know some of us hold you in high esteem as a contractor, living the high life and fulfilling the dream, don't you? If you have a setback, it causes a ripple of fear for us lesser, wind-blown, cold and rained-on and bench-vulnerable mortals.

          No Germans here, in fact I have never come accross a German in any of my outsourced travels.

          Yes, "fulfilling the dream" not this week, up at 7.00 IST office before 9.00, work with Indian team untill 19.00. Work with UK teams and attend calls until 22.00 IST. Back to the hotel sleep. Working Saturday, will fall asleep by the pool Sunday and get very sun burnt.
