away day

[SimonMac]

People are too hung up about IR35, odds are one away day won't **** you with a HMRC investigation, go for it, have a good day and make sure you get extended by being a team player. Think of it the same as taking a client out to a lap dancing bar before you sign them up, its all about networking, you never know what you might find out in causal conversation.

Personally I would try to fit in. There was a time you could be good at your job or popular but now you need both.

And once they have invited you then anything else looks childish. IMO.

You lot are in danger of turning into corporate arselickers; you'll be going permie next.

I would inverse the IF ELSE myself

IF AwayDay !=Billable THEN
GetStuffed
END IF
'yes, I'll be there'

Cher-ist! Where do we begin.

IF THEN is VB/VB.NET, != is Java/C#
GetStuffed would call a subroutine (in VB, you would need to add the parentheses in Java)
'Yes, I'll be there' is a Java string (an error in VB) without the central apostrophe escaped or concatatanated...


No fooking wonder Bob is taking over...

I'm only a tester.

LoL - yours was bad, but not as bad as Ketchup's correction of it

[Bacchus]

and, back on track, just go along and enjoy it, life's too short.

Don't ask whether it's billable, of course it is. The client has asked you to turn up

Oh wait a moment, BP is perm, that explains the @arse licking, one of his objectives.

Are we in 1985?

BP already is a permie now, I just whore myself out to who ever pays me the most
