Been hailing on and off all day today.

Nothing here

It's stopped now. Just bits left on the cars parked outside by the canal.

It wasn't till I listened to the webinar yesterday that I realised IPSE was pronounced ipsay.

Latin for "himself" innit

Agent has just directly asked me about a role paying utterly stupid money....

Good stupid or bad stupid?

Not according to IPSE it isn't - it means "self" or "oneself"

[eek]

I keep getting emails for roles related to what I do from a certain pimp - I look down the skills required, think "I could do that, got most of those" and then see the rates...

The last two have been £120 per day and £100 per day, each time wanting a network engineer with skills and certifications it takes several years to gather.

Are agents really that stupid or are there contractors (permitractors?) who are daft enough to get out of bed for those rates?

I think some clientcos are just stupid and just don't realise how difficult (and expensive) it is to find certain skills. You then have the chancer agencies seeing how low they can go.

I've just seen the advert for the person current clientco are looking for here with a different agent paying utter peanuts. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't seen what the end client is paying and know what they could easily afford...

Good stupid or bad stupid?

good stupid which is the problem....

Bad stupid I could just ignore, this is good stupid and they still can't find anyone...

Certainly hope so, he said he would e-mail with a list of roles to see if I was interested so he could put me forward. The line was terrible.

Lie?

Is good money better than good location?

That would be ipsum or ipsa, but we have had this argument before
