    Spot on. I have noticed, and if you've contracted for any length of time everyone'll know I'm right: the higher the rate you're paid the less work you have to do.
    This is a profound truth,I used to toil in sweatshops such as Fish Factories and Steelworks and was paid very little.

    I then managed, God knows how, to blag my way in to the world of IT,from being a Printer Operator where I had to work long hours for little pay, then after some time an IBM systems programmer, where I did little and received great pay.

    Alas ... post mainframe world I had to lower myself to the world of client server and what a folly I found here,but the pay was moderate, then I became a consultatnt and instead of working I simply talked about work.

    And the pay was great, and the Lord saw it was good.

    Alas !

    Then all the consultancy jobs vanished as companys tightened their belts and a weeping and gnashing of teeth was heard from Alfs house.

    And now Alf has been reduced to working all day under the Sun, banished from the world of riches and consultancys and forced to toil under the tyranny of the Technical Helpdesk.

    And the Lord looked down on Alf , and Alf did sayeth Oh Lord you are a rotten B@stard


    And the moneys no good
    Just get a grip on yourself ...
