Nah, the idea of being a contractor is not just to grasp as much money as you can. Its to have a nice work life balance. And if you are still working, however crap you feel, then frankly you are a slave. What are you doing with all the money? Shrouds dont have pockets.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostWhat _are_ you talking about? Contractors don't take days off sick surely, and lose money, unless they're actually receiving the last rites or clinically dead.
I haven't had a day off sick in 15 years. It's permy weaklings who whimp out at the first hint of the sniffles, because they know they'll still be paid!

I agree with that point, if you view every waking hour not working as money lost you're onto a loser. Especially working more like a freelancer as I do, when I can work 16 hours a day if I want to and bill for them.Originally posted by escapeUK View PostNah, the idea of being a contractor is not just to grasp as much money as you can.
