      Do you know someone who could do your current role?
      You know the rest
      No, I don't. I wouldn't be much of a contractor if I thought that anyone else on the planet could possibly have the sort of skill required to take over from me, would I?

      Yeah, you're right, I'm not a businessman, full stop.

              I was having a similar conversation with another contractor.

              He said you are like that Russian joke

              Rabinovich look at my new $40k Rolex watch. Vovochka, where did you buy it? In the new shopping centre. If you went into the city you could have paid $50K for it. Then you could say you had a $50k Rolex.

                Yup I've been a consultant for six years now. Business a bit low at the moment - only took £17,000 last year. Looking bleaker this year so far. But working on putting together a new product offering which I hope will be a success.

                      Yep, I’ve toyed with the thought that if someone offered be a tulipload of money to go permie close to home I might, but realistically I don’t see that happening and I don’t even see myself falling for it; if I can’t earn my living out of IT I have other skills I can use as a freelancer and would rather do that.
