    You don't want to be breaking things in your last couple of days.

    simple fixes - no major overhauls.

      No, you arrange for it to break just after you leave so you can come back and fix it for an exhorbitant fee

        I get the impression Bunk is going to run and not look back.

        I agree with 5x though. It's very easy to blame the outgoing contractor if something goes wrong, but if you haven't touched anything complicated the blame game becomes much harder to play.

          I would worry about that if I'd ever consider coming back, but I won't, so I'm not

              Lucky you, I haven't even got my project started yet and I know it's going to be a right mess.

              Not good when you find out that several people have jacked in this project before you

              They've started to pester me about going perm as they don't want to spend the money on a contract resource.

              Contract is only intially for 3 months, if things don't improve then I may start to look elsewhere.

                Are you going to spend the next couple of days just commenting code and writing documentation ?

                I'm on doc duties next week but I'm still make "improvements"

                    I'm actually trying to expedite my escape!

                    How often does a contractor do that?

                      Seems to be ok, haven't really tested the water since I landed this gig.
