Sadly not CM. Mainly because this place was as dead as a doornail whilst you were away and secondly because Brillo and Zeity only seem to misbehave while you're around.

I probably haven't got the right technique so you'll have to teach me the appropriate moves before you go away again

just give us lots of

I'm not sure about that.....but I'm sure the guys would love to watch while we experiment!

Just been told by NewClientCorp that I am no longer required - they've finally managed to build the team up with a sufficient number of skilled permies

Bench in two weeks...

I can't believe they can do without you.

The amusing aspect of it was that (as I had noticed at the start, but had not mentioned) their legal department had a slip of the keyboard when drawing up my contract, so that it said that I was entitled to a six month notice period... on what was originally a six month contract

They mentioned it before I did, virtually pleading with me to accept that it was a mistake, and not to hold them to it

I graciously condescended to overlook the error, rather than calling in my brother (who's a partner in one of the country's top commercial law firms), because I'm nice like that

Also, these people are in the upper echelons of my field, and if I want to stay in said echelons myself, it makes sense not to get on the wrong side of them... everybody who counts knows everybody else in this game, and word gets around

indeed - a very sensible view in my opinion.

are you going to take time off or start looking straight away?

I wonder how many unread email CM had this morning?

Lots of very smart cookies here now - in fact, the number of people who've come from Y! makes me wonder if they might need me back to fill a gap

Definitely some time off - there's a conference coming up at the end of May, so I would have been off for about a week anyway.

I've only lost about six weeks billing, in fact.

So are you going to take up Wilmslow's suggestion?

I think not

[BrilloPad]

I think not

you were alot politer than I expected!

I am off to my "Journey in faith" course - the things I do for my kids!
