Good grief, the grand plan, even you know it!Originally posted by Bunk View PostYou mean you botch everything up so that your work never ends? If you finish the work and there's nothing else they need you to do, manufacturing some false piece of work so they keep you on sounds like fraud to me.
General Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
Captain Blackadder: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
General Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
Captain Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?
General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.
Captain Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!

Yes I am getting kicked out after finishing my tasks. It's really strange here, they only want to pay you when you have stuff to do.

Create enough space for 3 normal sized contractors on the bench for me please. Last day here in Bonn is 14th Nov.
Just putting the finishing touches to a data migration this week, then developing some changes to a business process for 2 weeks after that.
Very much job jobbed, and one of those rare occasions where you get to see something from start to finish.
What's the market looking like? I'm getting a lot of emails from pimps with comedy day rates.Tags: None
