      I dont know why I bother with some of the dick heads at clientco.

      Proper banging head on walls.

        Seems they are looking for contractors in another department, which I inquired about.

        Found out the reason for it is because no one wants to work with the line manager and all the existing contractors have left or are leaving.

          Narrow escape?

              Is it me or are pimp waste-of-time expeditions more lazy than they used to be?

              We're down to the level of "I saw your CV and was impressed. Please call me" and "Please call to discuss possible future opportunities." I wouldn't mind but both of these are pimps I know from experience will just waste 15 mins of my time and then ask for three references.

                Some more antique crap weeded out of my predeceased predecessor's data library.

                I fell that there's little need for data regarding the teletext system any more.

                Or data on Inmos static rams.

                  Shopping done, prescription collected and filled, and - at last - haircut

                  There's a "digital businesses" meetup starting in town shortly; I'm scoffing a belated lunch while I decide whether to go. It might provide some local freelancing opportunities, or it could just end up being a couple of hours stuck in a bar with "digital marketing" types

                    Decided to give the meetup a miss: the associated talk doesn't sound hugely interesting, and I'm not really in the mood for networking

                    Also, I'd be fairly late and might well have missed the talk altogether, to be left wandering around trying to engage slightly buzzed marketing types in conversation.

                    May go next month.

                      I think Level 1 Teletext is about due for a revival. I bet some hipsters in Shoreditch are working on a Teletext Resurgence right now. You could fit one of these on a USB keyring nowadays: Teletext - Using the Acorn Teletext Adapter
