madness

[chef]

I have been told by the onsite PM that I should learn about a related application to the one I specialise in as I will be integrating to it in the upcoming extension (kerrrching).

"No problem" says I "I'll start reading the related documentation and be fully up to speed for when extension time comes"

PM is happy that a bit of blagging with the client will be needed but we get along well and he's happy giving me plenty of notice to get upto speed if it means I stay on contract.

I goto download the relevant docs from their site, no access.

To access their docs I need an Internal Support ID.

To get an internal support ID I need to raise a request on the intranet.

To be able to raise a request I need to have access to it.

To gain access to the intranet I need to put a request in on their Helpdesk.

To access the helpdesk I need a specific piece of software to which I am currently waiting for it to be installed, but as it's Friday that's not going to happen until atleast Tuesday... madness.

Kerrrching

[alreadypacked]

I was on a project where 1/5 of the contract was spent waiting for access.

Kerrrching, but I hate wasting my time, I didn't extend.

This has been the case in every contract I ever had. Shortest was 2 day wait, longest was 2.5 months! Easy money.

Forgot to add, Im working from home, so it's hardly the stress of the century.

working from home + no access = HOLIDAY
