What's that?

Bad. Induces fear in me, even now!

Good morning all!

Morning CM!

Morning Churchy - how's stuff?

[voodooflux]

Bad. Induces fear in me, even now!

Aha. Haven't heard of our kids having to do that though

I am quivering at the thought.

Or is it because OfficeIdiot (henceforth to be called OI for short!) is back.

I am quivering at the thought.

When I used to play football our fitness test was essentially being sober enough to see the other end of the pitch. Or if numbers were short then still be able to stand was the key selection criteria.

Or is it because OfficeIdiot (henceforth to be called OI for short!) is back.

Just so we're clear, that's not quivering with delight then

Morning, all.



Another day of surfing for jobs and then tidying the house, methinks.

Had an email last night for a job in Dubai but they will only pay for a return trip every three months. Suggested to the agent that I'd be interested if they would pay for one every month, and he's just said "You could come home once a month but it would come out of your own pocket."

Thanks, Sherlock.

Hey FaQ

Had an email last night for a job in Dubai but they will only pay for a return trip every three months. Suggested to the agent that I'd be interested if they would pay for one every month, and he's just said "You could come home once a month but it would come out of your own pocket."

How long is the gig?

[TheFaQQer]

How long is the gig?

6 months, plus extensions.

The trouble with having had so much time off sick last year is that I just don't want to work any more, so I'm very picky (which is not necessarily the best thing to be at the moment).

Rate isn't that good, but they will pay for accommodation. If I take off the costs that I incurred on the last gig, the daily rate on this one is still £130 a day (plus their accommodation) lower, and I have to incur a 9+ hour flight to get there.

Think I'll pass on it and see if there is something better out there. Part of me is still hoping that the last client will come to their senses, bite the bullet, swallow their pride and get me back in - better the devil you know and all that...

Have you been in touch with the last client since Christmas to get a feel for the situation?

[zeitghost]

Oh well, I've got to box that Metex black box thingie up to send it back...

Bummer.
