Unlike the Chinese, the new management at the cob shop appears acceptable.

I was pleased to note that they use proper Heinz ketchup, not that horrid runny vinegary stuff so often found in such establishments

I'd like to have some time off. I think I'll let the market decide for me by just looking casually for work and see what happens.

I tried that one year but found that I casually spent every day in front of the computer keeping up with Jobserve and never got out to enjoy the summer. Now I make a point of having x amount of time of, say 2 months, and then it's full time looking for a contract.

but this year - I have to sit here working on crap projects with no real strategy, talking to people who have no idea how to run a project and care about it even less!
