    "Oh, pretty flexible," he said. "I like my team to be here between nine and four, so you could start at eight and leave at four, or start at nine and leave at five - it's up to you, really!"

    I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and shake him, shouting "THAT'S NOT FLEXIBLE! Ten to six! I like to work ten to six!"

    But it seemed a bit imprudent on the first morning
    Especially seeing as you meant 10pm

            Damn. Email from client B - one of their clients has broken my app by rebooting one of their servers. Getting a very non-specific javascript error. I don't have access to their servers. Hey ho - I've fired some questions back at them - hopefully they'll go away for a bit and leave me alone.

              Silence from direct client. But they have been like this all the way through.

              Im going to pack up and head off to sunny wiltshire, especially as the way I left it with ex-clientco was I could leave at any point due to the working away from homes issues and especially if I have something close to home

              The paperwork is only until mid Jan but there is very little chance I will be needed in Jan so I'm looking at 19th Dec as a finish date. Its only 6 weeks until then.
