A new personal best

[darmstadt]

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.

Really rather good, keep on invoicing...

Can't beat it although in my first job, as a permie, I came out of hospital having spent 6 months there and went straight to work the next day on crutches (shifts as well), in plaster up to my waist and stayed like that for a year.

That's pretty good going. How did you end up like that?

Pathetic. A simple blood transfusion. I had a heart bipass last year and still managed to knock up a BRD and run a webex when asleep under anaesthetic

I thought webex was an anesthetic. Most of the ones I've been on have roughly the same effect.

You have a heart?

It was more a ring road than a bypass.

Had a bit of a moan at the blood people today. Emails pleading for my armful, telling me how low the stock is, plus three calls today (ignored the first two, I was working). "Please make sure you donate in the next week". On finally speaking to them, the next session they can offer an appointment for is four months away. Last time I turned up without an appointment, they sent me away. They will "respond to my feedback" within 21 days...
