I'm good thanks, albeit tired. How was your weekend?

I am superb thanks! Very relaxing time.

Why are you tired? Burning the candle at both ends or applying a blowtorch in the middle?

That is a very good post. I wish I had the inclination to try and read the whole of that thread - but I am trying to get XPath to work this morning.

VF: Got any good books?

Well worth a look.

This is one thing that bothers me at the moment.

I could be wrong on this, but I don't think the OP really wants to be a contractor at all.

I think that they are what in the olden days would have been an agency-temp, but as a result of the "improving of employment rights" for temps that we have seen in the past few years they are now being pushed down the Umbrella Company route by the agencies so that they don't get those rights.

They are not the first to appear here in the past few months either.

The candle is just a pool on wax on the floor!

A busy weekend of over indulgence and minor DIY duties. I also seem incapable of getting to bed at a resonable hour.

Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?
