    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..

      In the UK you are suppose to allow 30-45 mins for changing trains due to the fragmentation of the rail network.

      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.

        Tired

        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

            We have one network, one ticket system for everything, so I can use the oyster card equivalent for everything nationally.

              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 weeker

                  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.

                    Weekly billing with the added complication that it needs to be signed twice once on paper then once entered into a different system approved by clientco' finance.

                    It's a complete faff but now I've got it working its weekly billing 1 week terms

                      Right, let's try to get slightly more sleep than I managed last night, though still not enough
