I see. After a move at the client co 3 months ago, these Mc.Carthy sods left a sticky roller ball mouse at my desk.

A lady from procurement came to claim it the next afternoon. I still cannot figure out what she did to the mouse that made it so sticky!

Sounds fishy to me.

Om.

Oh.

Now I understand.

Ah.

Now you understand.

As you were

[eek]

Ah, crap. We've got some training thing for four days next week. Just found out it'll run from nine to five. I'll have to take a lunch break whether I want it or not, and there's no chance of avoiding the rush hour either morning or evening

You seem to have a lot of "training" on this contract. Are you sure you've not turned permie without realising.......

Indeed.

I belatedly realised this.

Has scourer got to 100k yet?

Well this is fascinating.

After the 2nd years & their group project, the 3rd years came into the lab to do some pic programming.

From the chaos that ensued you'd think they'd never seen MPLAB, a PIC16F84(A), or assembler programming before.

They're taking a kind of "Year Zero" approach to the whole project management thing. The Agile stuff was necessary so I knew what they're up to (though I've done Agile many times before, they have their own way of doing certain things, as is usually the case). Next week is Chef, which they're using for various things I'll be working on.

So yes, it does feel a bit permified, but I reckon I can justify it in terms of the client having a requirement for me to be au fait with their particular processes and technologies in order to complete the contracted work.

That's my excuse

[eek]

Indeed.

No and he's a 1000 or so posts down as he's not posted since 31st December....
