    do you work on an IT helpdesk somewhere?

    hmmmmmm, you probably started off in a call centre and you have some personal interest in PCs. You let your 'team leader' know about this and they therefore fitted in to your objectives on your annual appraisal. You were first seconded onto the Helpdesk after meeting your objectives and were recently placed there permanantly after proving yourself 'worthy'.

    Your salary jumped from £16,000 to £21,000!!

    You work for a 'blue chip' telco that employs many contractors. You perceive that you could easily perform a better job than them. There's a rumour floating about the team regarding how much they earn and therefore you want a piece of that as well.

    Your manager has promised to put you in for your MCSE for about half a year now but the training budget has been blown on things like 'Assertiveness Training' instead. But, you still genuinely believe that it is coming and that it will be your key to the contractor world.

    You are 24 years old.

    You're from up north somewhere like Leeds or Manchester where the word 'nobhead' is still commonly used.

    ..........and the conclusion of chock's 'profiling' - you work for the IT Helpdesk for O2/BT in Leeds. More specifically, The Arlington Business Centre or Sovereign Street.

    ..........miles off?

                Posting crap to every thread until you get insulted doesn't really count as getting a mention in every thread, and it doesn't mean you are popular

                And how about a little more details than just throwing about random buzz words. I think you are the guy that refills the printer when it runs out of paper...

                      Andy comes from some London overflow newtown sh1thole like Bassingstoke, Harlow or Stevenage. He drives a blue ford Focus. He is balding, wears glasses and overweight. He drinks far too much coffee and has a mild body odour problem.
                      I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?
