Shiny shiny shiny shiny contract!

26 January 2011, 10:03

Phew! After 6 months on the bench in a moribund market, I have a shiny contract.

'Usual' rate
Direct to client
13 days per month (give me time to spend with the imminent new Young Greg II)
Based at home, so expenses paid for travel
Working with great people I know well
No management / programme management structure
Hurrah!

Congrats, both on contract and new sproglet!

Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
