Yep, crazy! I'm a bit torn though - I'm 100% focussed on hitting our mortgage deposit goal but I really can't believe I'm in Feb already.

This gig was meant to finish end of Feb, but they've just sacked off the guy I was working with and decided to stick with me. So, the extension will probably be there if I want it but there's been so much history of tulip design and technical debt that I really don't know if I want it.

Who cares as long as you have a personal target and the clientco are paying you to achieve it!

Look busy, get an extension and sit on a high chair counting money!

given the blue moon incident I think its the former version that is more accurate.

Put that away would be a better statement...

Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of January - it's been a bit of a bugger of a month

Seven weeks left on this gig. I'll be ready for a break by then.

It's still around, just heading outwards from the Solar System in a spherical shell at the speed of light.

Last two gigs have been with weekly self billing pimps - I'm getting quite attached to them.

Push authorise button on timesheet - money turns up a week later.

I went for a walk to celebrate February - it appears to be colder than January so far!

I have yet to leave the house this month.
