Best time for this to happen. Market seems buoyant in infrastructure and you have a new baby to spend time with if you wish. Well done for surviving a truly awful twunt of a client.

Hmmm. Dunno about being buoyant.
Yeh. Warchest is there and I'm surprisingly OK about it. We'll see how it goes....

After the sleepless nights, is working away a few nights that bad? ;-)

[psychocandy]

You don't say...



Yes you can, and did very regularly and ad infinitum..



Complain when you are in the gig, complain when the renew and still at it when they bin you. Poor buggers can't win.

Enjoy your time at home, get a great gig with nothing to complain about and you will wonder why on earth you stuck it through for so long. Looking forward to the boomed thread soon.

Careful now NLUK. First few sentences were normal you but that last part you almost came over a nice guy LOL :-)

What's your field of work?

When we had ours the midwife told me to move into the spare room so that I would get a nice nights sleep Wife was about to protest about it when the midwife turned on her and said you can sleep when the baby does he needs to go to work I didn't have the guts to move into the spare room so I got a job in Holland instead!

LOL. Nice one midwife....

I been in the spare room but getting up to do the bottles etc. Easy peasy. Get up sort the bottle, give to wife, back to bed. 5 mins tops. Wife then feeds/does nappy.

She seems happy with this but I feel a bit guilty. First day back WFH today.

Breast feeding is best.

Man wakes up. Checks. Nope, he doesn't have tits. Goes back to sleep. Sorted.

Yep. And of course its free.

Never knew though - babies dont sleep as long when you give them breast milk. The manufactured stuff apparently has more in it so they sleep longer.

Currently lucky if shes going 2 hours. Tell me this is going to change soon! (Other son is almost 10 so I cant remember!)

My elder daughter never slept for more than 20 minutes until she was 13 months old. She would sleep in the car if you drove, but woke up as soon as you stopped to try and grab some sleep yourself.

She just screamed the whole time. And I mean SCREAMED!!!
