Money alone cannot resolve my unhappiness. No rate could repair the ill they will thrust upon me. Not even a politician's backhanders would begin to compensate me for my loss.

I could try to console myself knowing 6000 TPD posts must be approaching, that I am snapping at the heels of TheFaQQer or that Dier cannot see me for dust, but no! Even those sweets from Heaven taste bitter to me now.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostTheFaQQer 6,488

What's up?Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostNo, it's not even that!
The gig pays so much money that if it were inside IR35 it would still pay about 25% more than my last gig.

If I only I could set foot inside THAT hallow'd ground - the havoc I would wreak, the chaos I would cause!Originally posted by Jog On View PostIt's a civil service gig... for HMRC?
I was tasked with such a quest many winters ago when some brave folk from the MoD asked if I could obtain for them an EDS gig and slay that mighty dragon. But, sadly, that was not a quest put aside by the gods for me - or if it is then my time has not yet come.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
