    Yeah but what about the hard core porn and panties they also found? How did his lawyers explain that one?

      So what unless you are on the net everyday, someone has to sit there, might as well be the ****wit contractor

      Take your own coffee/lunch in

      You invoice don't you

      Yep.. Bedwetter

      I wouldn't have minded the other negatives, but pure unfairness for no reason is the straw that broke the camels back. If I get something else and leave mid contract, they will only have themselves to blame, and I will have a clear conscience.

        Just don't get sacked for using jobserve in the middle of the office.

          To top that off I see other contractors working from home, so I asked same since I have a long commute. They said its against their policy? I have 1 months notice and want to leave.

          Thoughts?
          I think I found the reason:

            I'm usually in the "see out a contract for as long as they would like to utilise my services" camp.

            That being said, I've never been overally unhappy in a role, and while Russell did sign up for the long commute, everyone is allowed to change their mind.

            Especially when you get what appear to be stupid rules (like not being allowed to WFH when others do).

            Life is to short to be unhappy, but as others have said, do be aware of potential unhappy client for references, maybe leave it off the CV?

                Wasn't that long ago, Russ, old chap, that you informed the populace of CUK that you 'could afford not to work for decades'.

                You weren't talking tulipe by any chance, were you ?

                When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

                  Some asserts are less liquid than others, I prefer to keep the liquid cash flow coming in by working otherwise I would be forced to liquidise aforementioned assets. i.e. if I just walked and then found the market dead and was benched for 12 months, would force me to sell some gold bars

                    You are a contractor. Either put up (stay or go we couldn't care) or shut up
                    merely at clientco for the entertainment
