    I have nothing to do.

    After 18 months of doing very little but being able to say "I'm doing..." I now actually have nothing to do. Told the director on thu, but few days on still sitting doing **** all... crazy ... gotta love this contracting malarky eh?

          What do you mean the server has gone down? I'm far too busy evaluating SLA escalation procedures to be bothered with that now.

            Be glad. Just imagine a real job, carrying heavy objects, having to kow-tow to some middle manager numpty and getting paid a pittance.

            Suggestions as to how to amuse yourself;

            1 invoice
            2 reformat invoice, to look a bit more expensive when printed on parchment. Remember, people should feel good about spending a tulipload of money.
            3 CUK
            4 Drink sake!
            And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              Why not spend your time checking out Rangers' activity in the transfer market? Now that really DOES personify "doing **** all!!"

                I was really hoping we would get some top class talent from Scunthorpe this year too

                  No3 ... hence I'm back ... that board.
                  No4 ... that's been my job for 18 months anyway ... except it's whisky.

                  I've been given the all clear to do f*** all. Seriously.
