    While you lot were playing...

    ....at April Fools some of us were working.

    Drove up to Wigan today for a meeting. 250 mile round trip. Had to get up at frikking 5am to get there on time. I even wore a suit too (rare occurrence). I marched into the office...remembering to show no fear (Clients can smell it you know).

    Client: "Hi Sockpuppet, to what do we owe the pleasure?"
    Sockpuppet: "The "Big" Thursday meeting, we're going through the new operational plan".
    Client: "That's next Thursday".
    ** Checks Phone **
    Sockpuppet: "****. Bye".


    Cue driving home.

    The problem with multiple contracts is I'm not that organised. I need a PA.

          Surely that's because it's easy to keep everything in order when there are not a lot of items to start with. A mans brain has to keep track of more than

          what you'll be making for tea
          where the iron could be
          has the washer/dryer finished
          is it time to put on a pretty dress and make up for the return of the hard working male

          etc!
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!
