20 days back at old client on offer (my estimate was 3 to 5 weeks) - just emailed the agent to say that I want something in writing to guarantee that they will pay my expenses, and I'll do it.

Grrrrr.

Client doesn't want to pay expenses. All I've asked for is the difference in the rent I was paying (£750 pcm) and the cost of me staying in a hotel (£118 pd) for the time that I'm there, since because they cancelled the contract early, I moved out of my place and now have nowhere cheap to stay.

So - do I take the work, get some money, but be annoyed that I am getting fleeced on the expenses because of their incompetence, or dig my heels in, stick to my principles, and potentially lose the work?

There are days when I read ZG's posts and wonder just what language he's using, cos I dont understand a bloody word of it

I suspect a redesign using mosfets will "cure" this startup problem...

Ooh, ooh, I know that one: Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors

Haggle? See if they'll split the difference?

On a £15million implementation, we're arguing over the £1100 extra I want for my expenses, which are only being incurred because of their poor planning and management in getting rid of me last year when they knew they still needed me.

Not a happy bunny - at the moment I've left it with the pimp and the budget manager to agree what they want to do. Team lead rang me to ask when I was coming back, and said "I just need you back ASAP" but the decision is out of his hands.

Fools.

Speaking of which, I've just been invited to an interview on Monday afternoon

Is it local?
