**** me, I did a contract where I was 30km away from the rest of the team, sitting in a cellar by myself with a crappy old T20 Thinkpad with the occasional visit from the other inhabitant of the cellar who was the local nutter support guy until I got the 3 mumbling Bobs sitting opposite me for a few weeks who got kicked out as they were crap...

I did a week in Vienna once where it was just me and the machine room and I couldn't get out once the door was shut and there was no phone...

I worked down near Stuttgart once where I had a decent laptop, access to everything, right next to the canteen, a huge office but **** all work until they offered me a project for the Pakistani airforce right on the border with Afghanistan just before it all kicked off...

I worked in Madrid and no ****er spoke English or German except for the boss and he was hardly ever there...

I had to work in Kennesaw County where by law you have to have a gun...

You've got it ******' easy mate...

Madrid no good then? I've been offered a 1 yr gig there...was considering it. I've never been and don't speak the lingo.

I worked in Madrid, it depends on the company, international company usually has more English speakers.

My problem with Madrid, was the air quality, my office was in a tower block, you could see the brown cloud hanging over the city.

On one of my contracts a team of us started on the same day. Our first task was to build all the desks.

Not a single contractor refused to build his own desk. That was a great project. Pity it was in Hull.

Sounds like Asia - regarding pollution and language. I should be OK then.

Grow some balls, turn the situation to your advantage and stop whinging. You're billing, which is more than some here.

I've moved office furniture and re-routed all the network cables when we moved form one small office to a larger un used space in the building. We got all the bacon butties we could eat aswell as day rate

Absolutely. He who pays the piper and all that.

It never ceases to amaze me when pretentious w4nkers start giving it large on this forum.

You're temps, get the ******* job done or make room for someone else.

If they couldn't build a desk they probably shouldn't have been hired anyway
