approaching 30...

[el duder]

i turn 30 in near on 5 months..

instead of feeling like im moving into great new, exciting territory, it feels like im having a miniture life crisis.

no wife, no kids, no home, no posh sports car, just a very temporary lifestyle moving from one robotic office to another making cash..

You poor bastard.

By the time I was thirty I had married a beautiful woman, bought 2 houses, owned several Porsches, saved £200K and travelled the world five times.

Still, try not to feel bad about it.

I am nearly 60 and have a Y reg van. You can have one of our kids if you like.

El duder... feel exactly the same ... nothing to show for the years of slogging away at keyboards...

Start being a bastard. It's got me a seriously long way and I'm not 30 yet.

well I am thinking along the same lines now... what am I in this game for exactly?

[el duder]

funny that...

actually, funny you said that...

thats exactly the approach i have taken on this contract, to be a bit of a miserable, moany, difficult bastard, who aint got a nice thing to say about anything or anyone.

its already got me an extension with the client

was in the middle of delivering a massive deadline today, a manager asked my opinion on the color coding of the website, some work he was doing...i looked up from my monitor filled with code and said..

'to be honest, i couldnt give a tulip'.

should have seen the look on his face.

well that worked for me el... worked on site for 19 months with a 1 p/h rise (from a $hite starting point) .. got to a crucial point in new project pointed out 2 year rule, got a nice set amount per month in addition to a £10 p/h increase.. which suited me down to ground.. (btw also got extended another 3 times since... which was nice)
