    If you feel like your cut off then explain to the client that its effecting communication and you need to be sat with the team
    Or get UMTS on your laptop and enjoy some pron.

      Maybe people are intimidated by your obvious skill.

      Or, maybe you stink of piss.

        You'll never make a successful contractor.

        If the client estimates 50 days you take 50 days.

        Any issues that come out of it (and there always will be issues) and you'll get labelled as someone who cuts corners or rushes through.

        Dreary me.

          Right that's it. I going to threaten to
          kill myself on Facebook. They seem like a nice bunch.

          Now all I have to do is join Facebook and get some friends...

            Maybe it's the run of contracts in the last 12 months with this site being the worse. For 4 weeks I have been stuck in an attic on my own. Nobody to talk to all day. Then off for a lonely lunch.

            The core team is in a building at the other end of the client site. Earlier in the year I was on an outsourcing project where I was the only rep on site and not allowed to talk to people.

            Soul destroying. Truly soul destroying.
            I'd prefer it if no one talked to me all day. I hate office chit chat.

                    I'm quite sociable. Head phoned IT geeks who cannot string a sentence together or offer a pleasant greeting are my pet hate.

                    Most people in IT have the personality of a damp lettuce and mannerisms of a serial killer.
