ClientCo have just said that they are still looking for a permie to fill the roll I am doing. This was followed up with "if you're interested". My response was that I'm in a contract with them right now, but once that was over if they haven't found someone else and want to make me a sensible offer, I would consider it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

No matter how technophobic your other half is mine is far, far worse - so I won't risk it.Originally posted by DaveB View PostVery useful for trolling your other half though.
Personally the echo is a winner on usability just not on sound quality. I'm currently debating if its worth spending the £50 or so on a dot just to turn music off when a call comes in...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

You might be asked to train up your replacement.Originally posted by WTFH View PostClientCo have just said that they are still looking for a permie to fill the roll I am doing.

Personally I usually string them along a bit "I never say no to anything". "What have you got in mind". "How will you assist my career". "Can I think about it for a while".
Finally say its very sad however you can't take a pay cut of 50%.....Comment

Afternoon denizens
I got up at 7:15 and went down to unlock the gate for the bins, only to find it already open
Also, nobody seems to have put their bins out there this week - there were about three normal and one recycling, rather than fifteen or twenty assorted as usual
Anyway, I went back to bed and slept solidly for a few more hours, and feel much better for it
Grey day, though
Now having breakfast of strong coffee and a few digestive biscuits before setting off on various errands, the most important (but least enjoyable) of which is getting my hair cut
