    Be sure not to found innocent on appeal years later though, as you then have to pay for all that board and lodging.

    You are DCJ and I claim my crisp fiver.

    Don't forget to buy a Porsche on your first day's contracting and then sue the agent and have a good moan because you can't join the company pension scheme.

    Hey

    I came to this board to get a proper answer to my questions. Why are you being so mean? You're all hiding behind the internet Grrrrr.

    The agent has offered me £10p/h but I reckon Im worth £200p/h. Yeh, thats right and the agent should pay me from his own pocket. Im doing him a favour right.

    Yeh. Excel Rocks

    started a topic Newbie Thread. Just given up job. Now what?

    Newbie Thread. Just given up job. Now what?

    Hi

    I've just given up my job. I walked out cause I hated it and im much better than everyone else in the office. They suck and I know it all.

    I have 6 months .NET and Excel. Yeh Im the bollocks. What does the PM know anyway - I can do that, yeh and the Sales Directors job, whats that all about hey! Easy innit.

    Anyway, even though I know it all. Will someone please tell me what I should do?

    Umbrella or Limited, Partnership or Soletrader, Aim or Ftse. I know it all but you tell me.

    What accountants do you guys use? A bloke in the pub said he'd do it for £1000 a month. I thought that was OK as he said he'd fix my car as well. But hey I could do that, its just Im so busy what with all the offers of work.

    Well guys I'm waiting.

    Be nice.

    MF the Newbie.

Working...
