A new personal best

Are you sure you're cut out to be a contractor?

Clearly not. I hang my head in shame.

OTOH I put in 2 hours early this am, 3 in here and will do a bit more when I get home, so as I bill by the 1/4 day I still earned more than a permie today.

I once had one off the wrist in the toilets while being a contractor. Does that count?

Put it like that....

Permies do that all the time. I'd say it was a pointer to being inside IR35.

Shhhh, HMRC will go and create a BET for that.

My guts were well bad and my ring piece must have been glowing like a jet engine.

I wish I could have unread that.

We all know contractors bill their way through colds and flu that have the permies whimpering at home, and no doubt most of us have billed through far worse, but today I'm billing through a blood transfusion. For me at least this is a first.

Laptop connected to the hospital wifi and vpn into client co. Debugging someone elses code that doesn't work quite as per the instructions. I'm quite proud of myself.

I think todays billing is getting spunked on a treat.

The old man and MF do their twins service for hospital visits.

That's not quite the treat I had in mind

Doing it while receiving chemo would earn more points.

Well todays efforts have bought me another telescope, tube only, nothing too flash but it has a longer focal length for better views of the moon and planets and it's a different design that is free of CA so they will be clearer too. Should be a good buy considering these are practically the only things I can see from my garden.

I signed up for itelescope rental as well, that should assuage my desire to waste thousands trying to take astrophotos from my garden
