    If it is a number one, best to wait until you have a fairly full bladder but not up to the point of it being painful. That makes best use of your time without suffering discomfort.
    If a number two, go seat yourself on the toilet just incase it is diarrhoea. Make sure you take plenty of toilet paper.

    Hi there,

    Just wondering what is the best time go?

    As myself did it twice in the past:
    1) after 4+ years at the same client, understood "time to go" and give a notice, otherwise "job for life" :-/
    3) extension delayed due to a projection about to "sink" nowhere, so found another gig

    What about you?

    Ops, realised 2 months until the end of current gig and sounds like another extension, but another 4 years gone oh dear
    You should ask for a rate rise at the start of every new contract, you may find staying in the same place for too long does not become a problem. If it does you are not asking for enough.

    That post has been deleted, strangely enough.

    No it actually means anybody who posts 6,958 times and spends all his days doing so has a pretty sad and boring life.

    I'll rewrite that for you so you can understand it.

    My god your thick

    Because that is the correct way to refer a deity in English. If you refer to gods that is okay, to one god is also correct, but to a specific god then the word must be capitalised:

    All gods are ridiculous, your god is ridiculous but God is just made up.
