    Another addition to the board

    Hi folks,

    Basically I joined this board because I've been screwed over by an agent (that makes twice now) and wanted to better protect myself in future. But enough about that.

    I work as a Freelance Creative Developer: a web developer with an eye for design. I recently resumed freelancing after I was forced back into permanent work to make ends meet, and I really don't want to go back this time. I'm committed to make it work, and I would appreciate all the help I can get!

      Hi there.

      In this particular case I had taken on a role lasting two weeks, and then another role straight afterwards - I didn't find out until today that the agency decided to put me on a rolling monthly contract, which basically means getting paid monthly rather than weekly.

      On second thought, that will teach me.

          The real question is whether or not I'm human. Clinical studies suggest so, but I haven't had a formal autopsy yet.

            No reason not to let him through.

                Thats not a major issue. Only a small mistake in the grand scheme of things.

                  What have you done that makes you "legendary" drew?
