    AFAIK he is updating jobswerve monster and linked in. He's a talented chap so will presumably be in a gig sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed for him, poor soul.
    He writes good fiction.

      As I said before, the particulars of the gig are fact, and "my mate" is feeling mightily disenfranchised.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Wow. A death march project or such obvious ineptitude and stupidity that even suity isn't gullible enough to take it on. Who'd'a thought it were possible.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          You seem to have missed the shocking revolution where it turned out that Suity wasn't being entirely honest - his claim to have a mate has been shown to be an illusion
          merely at clientco for the entertainment

              I assume by "mate" he meant "someone who isn't actively trying to hurt me".

                While Suity is may things I didn't think a self-mutilating masochist was one of them.

                  But I'll give it a go, it sounds fun

                    No Suity, it hurts. Self mutilation is not for wimps.

                      Explain to them that without signed timesheets and work you're under no obligation to sit there like a prize ******* plum and will be looking for other work. If you are still available when they decide they need you then it's all good, otherwise it's tufficus tulipicus as they used to say in ancient rome.
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
