NLyUK got you a shift on the phones again?

Someone had to make up for the loss of business after your shift last night

Morning peoples

Not a bad day out there - warm and dry at least.

Todays exciting challenge is to determine what remains to be done by comparing what was promised, verses what has been built so far, and subtracting what has been descoped. BigConsultancy have a list, but Clientco know it will all fall in a heap when presented to EndClientco if a whole load of other tulip isn't added to BigConsultancy's list. Which is where I come in. Apparently, it's important that I am diplomatic when pointing to the holes

As ever with these multi-phase affairs, the hard things get kicked around every so often and then deferred so I bet there's loads of skeletons hidden in cupboards.

Petrol station lunch, for both me and the car

There's a company meeting going on, so all the permies are shoehorned into a meeting room next to my desk listening to some director who turned up twenty minutes ago, while I sit out here with the place to myself

Any chance you can stick a chair leg through the door handles and enjoy peace and quiet all afternoon?

Strewth it's warm staggering up that hill. <sweats gently in the breeze from the deskfan>

Nothing more exciting (for us mocking contractors) regarding consultancy work in this regard, especially when multiple (greedy) vendors are involved.

Over promise, vastly under deliver.

Its like lambs to the slaughter

Yesterday I fell asleep in a meeting....

[zeitghost]

Did you snore or dribble?

You are so right! I tend to agree , the T&C's are most helpful when things go TU. I have worked direct a few times and written terms on invoices as suggested and never have i had any issues raised using this technique. I also agree with others that if you try to direct the contract yourself with anything but the smallest of clients you are asking for a massive delay in starting your work. Also worth pointing out is that you must not start before contract terms are agreed in case else you have given up any hope of getting terms agreed!

Neither

Though the latter wouldn't have mattered

Glorious afternoon here, spoiled by two things... 1. Work and 2. A phone call from MIB700 who have my mobile number and think I am a Mr Shaun.
No, you bunch of scammers, I am not interested in hearing a top financial tip from you.
