Ready to walk....

[Old Greg]

Walk outside and take a breath then go back in.
If it carries on, go out tonight to the pub and find some small fella and give him a good smack in the mouth.
Alternatively insult Suity on CUK. Always works for me.

It's like being a recovering alcoholic.

Every day, ask yourself, 'Can I take one more day in return for the money?'

Go in that day and earn the cash.

And look for another gig.

None of you are cut out to be contractors as you all failed to mention the "Where there's chaos, there's cash" mantra.

A sad day when I am the king of the castle, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I imagine the senior mgmt are talking about "drive to dates". I worked under this pressure about 3 gigs ago. What you need to remember is to think like they do. That is, they pick a date, tell you the date, stick to the date. Then stick their fingers in their ears and go "la la la" when you try and reason with them.

Meanwhile they are adding 3 months onto your date and telling their bosses it's this. Those bosses are adding 3 months to that date and so on and so on.

You could be a real meany and tell your underlings date - 1 month and play the mgmt game. Or you could just be honest with your troops, protect them as best you can and keep filing your reports.

That would indeed be a day for general amazement and wonderment.
Sadly it's not today.

Leave it SAS, you're outclassed.

What would we do without you, suity?

[Mich the Tester]

What would we do without ... suity?

Keep calm and carry on invoicing.

[Old Greg]

Keep calm and carry on invoicing.

Hey! Suity is good for the contract market:

Where there's chaos, there's cash.

[Mich the Tester]

Hey! Suity is good for the contract market:

Are you suggesting the rest of us are incapable of causing needful chaos?

[Old Greg]

Are you suggesting the rest of us are incapable of causing needful chaos?

No, but I am suggesting that Suity is incapable of not causing needless chaos.

Time to go into my default survival or 'feltch' mode (see porridge).
