Originally posted by Gentile View PostYes, I keep getting called about banking gigs. But working in that sector once was enough for me. I find that if they're not completely wasting your time, they invariably expect you to work without internet access or USB drives (or in one particularly noteworthy case, without a desk or a computer, and I wasn't allowed to bring my own!). I can't help people with those sort of limitations, and I wont waste my time or their money trying to.
I do not need this tulip. OK, it's not as bad as not earning.... but as I get older and grumpier, it becomes an ever closer call.Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI've developed a tool for Excel which I've been using for years as a prototyping tool. Sometimes the prototype is so good I productionalise Pivot table reports.
It allows me to rapidly create SQL reports in Pivot tables. I can test SQL out, change connections instantly, create new ones using the same memory cache. Topped off with some VBScripting routines I have they can be productionalised using a scheduled windows job & emailed. If you're clever with SQL you can create more complex reports in a Pivot table than the vast majority of Reporting/Business Intelligence suites on the market. The last three companies I've contracted at have adopted copies of it.
Which is actually quite bloody annoying.

Originally posted by norrahe View PostI was paying £3 per moggy and the excess was reasonable. When NorPussI was attacked and injured pretty badly this time last year, I was about £75 out of pocket from a £1300 vet bill.Comment

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostYeh. The 'Van driver wanted: must be have experience of red vans' thing really pisses me off.
And from a company which was on my doorstep and paid well.
Bloody agencies wouldn't put me forward because I hadn't driven red vans.
And lo and behold when I finally got a gig which had red vans, I found the only difference with red vans was that they were faster and the service manual had been updated.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
