    Hit the Ground Running

    Whatever happened to "Hitting the ground running"?
    Up to about 4 years ago everybody wanted "Someone who can hit the ground running". But now, jobserve has a paltry 59/10158 UK IT contracts in the last week that require the valuable skill of "hit the ground running".

    PS if you include this one, which unusually requires that you 'hit the ground ruining', it's a round 60.

      Major ROFL. Well spotted. Guffaw.
      What happens in General, stays in General.
      You know what they say about assumptions!

            I've almost hit the ground running to the bog after a particularly nasty Vindaloo the night before.

                  An update

                  There's been a marked upturn in demand for hitting the ground running over the past two days. 74 out of 11977 UK IT contracts this week place an emphasis on the speed of your ground-hitting (I include the Ruining one). That's 25% up.

                  There's also a niche demand for people who can 'hit the floor running'. I take this to be the indoor equivalent, and so far 2/3 of the demand is in Shropshire.
