I need 4 minutes to get from Desk to train... I need to give it 6 minutes as otherwise I can be caught by other travelers not having their tickets ready..merely at clientco for the entertainment -
In the UK you are suppose to allow 30-45 mins for changing trains due to the fragmentation of the rail network.Originally posted by norrahe View PostI have 4 mins in between train changes, the first train has been persistently 5 mins late.
What's amusing is if you do a connection with the same company you gave to wait longer than if it's with a different company. The companies do the timetables like that to avoid being fined."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

TiredOriginally posted by norrahe View PostHow is everyone btw?
I keep forgetting I have to be up at six in the morning to stand a chance of getting home again before seven in the evening, and staying up too late
On the bright side, the agency sorted out the timesheet problem and the first self-bill invoice has been generated

Weekly timesheets, but a fixed 4-4-5 week cycle for payments. I, of course, started in the last week of a 4 week stint that's followed by a 5 weekerOriginally posted by norrahe View PostI have to wait 30 days for mine to kick in after that it will be weekly.

Earlier today I was offered a red pill or a blue pill. Most of me says take the blue. Too many red pills in the game so far.
But who I am today is due to the red pills.
If I go blue, it's purely for my own good.
If I go red, it's for the good of others, but not all that altruistic.
Grrrr. I don't know what to do.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
