    Its an S.M.E. not a "smee"!
    It wasn't till I listened to the webinar yesterday that I realised IPSE was pronounced ipsay.

      Certainly hope so, he said he would e-mail with a list of roles to see if I was interested so he could put me forward. The line was terrible.

        Apparently it's not settling though. If it starts to, I'm out of here.
        Been and stopped here, touch wood.

        If I ever get off calls, I might make it to PC World to collect my laptop.

                  Good to know, I'll be calling it ipsy if I ever go to one of their get-togethers.

                    I keep getting emails for roles related to what I do from a certain pimp - I look down the skills required, think "I could do that, got most of those" and then see the rates...

                    The last two have been £120 per day and £100 per day, each time wanting a network engineer with skills and certifications it takes several years to gather.

                    Are agents really that stupid or are there contractors (permitractors?) who are daft enough to get out of bed for those rates?
