    When asked why this was
    He said "It's because
    I'm a freelance copyeditor paid by the word so it is in my interests to flesh work out when there is no specified word limit and since the client trusts me now then as per usual when in this position at this point in a contract I do what I usually do which is to try to get as many words into the last line as I ever so possibly can sign here thank you have an invoice."
    But that doesn't rhyme.

      Horse. Bar. Long face.
      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

                I do feel sorry for the permie project manager. We have trimmed the costs so much to keep the sponsor happy that he now stands no chance of bringing it in on budget.

                      YES! I feel a contract coming on in a few months!

                      (There's nothing like writing out a few end-of-year tax cheques for teaching you what "mercenary" really means.)
