    Actually got to speak to the pimp. After ten minutes of questioning and him trotting out a different excuse each time he spoke he finally admitted that the interview from last week looks to be going nowhere.

    I'm reminded of the old adage with pimps: if their lips are moving, they're lying. I don't mind not getting a contract, I just prefer a straight answer and any feedback he has (or even "I don't have anything else") rather than spending days making up a different tulipty story each time.

      Nice to learn if I wanted to break the speed limit and not get caught unless I was really stupid I should have been a tram driver

        Last day, so just got to make a smooth handover.

        LOL jk they've got me implementing brand new functionality they'd forgotten they needed until yesterday

        I'm glad I put a lot of common functionality into a few jQuery plugins and Python classes

        don't you fancy an extension, after your 4 - 6 week break you had planned?

          I believe future requirements with more favorable working arrangements have already been discussed

                Sounds like you have almost gone native, are they also going to be giving you a performance review before you finish

                  Lol, it's a contractors thing that some permies have muscled in on (cannon fodder/warmup material). As all teh contractors are leaving, I expect it'll wither on the vine.

                    I thought it had been agreed that we wouldn't talk about your withering vine on here
