Morning all
Clear blue skies and sunshine here, lovely dog walk early.
It appears the project managers have fallen asleep so I've sent them a couple of wake up calls. In the name of increasing profits (not reducing losses as they are making a fortune) they have got rid of most of the developers and one of the other contractors. The end client is starting to feel the pain of these cuts, and the PMs are nowhere to be seen.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Petrol station lunch day
I was five hundredths of a litre over guessing the amount of petrol the car wanted, which isn’t too bad

Now it's become unseasonably warm they've turned the heating back on.
Yesterday, when you could have kept a side of beef in here, the heating was off.
But at least the endless drizzle has departed hence for a day or two.
As I'm skip filling at the moment, I've actually broken into a mild sweat.
They don't pay me enough for this toil.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

When your new client offers you £100 per day more than you asked for and you already thought you were taking the piss.
