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
