Life sucks - tomorrows gig cancelled

It is a subset of the main work I do for SKA, it is not already done, but big well debugged chunks are licensed so that work is done very quickly - the client will be pleased to get extremely fast and scalable code in less than a week. They are good people too.

Working on a fixed fee contract that should yield more than £1k per day.

Better even it involves licensing small bits of SKA "know-how" and code, of course the time it took to write that code initially would probably push down value of contract to £45 per day, but since I had to do it for myself anyway it is a nice income.

Sure beats doing Crystal Report crap for minimum wage while wearing monkey constume!

HTH

So you're being paid for something you've pretty much already done then? Nice one

So are you sitting in the house watching old episodes of Frasier like me then?

I had a verbal arrangement to start a new Crystal Reports contract tomorrow but they emailed me saying that I should not bother turning up as they found some cheap (min wage) monkey to the the mans' job.

I suppose I might just have to get my rate below £1k per day.

Thats hard lines that mate I'm sure something els will come up. Is that what you do then? Crystal reports? Or is that just one feather to your bow?

Wow, MF starts a new CR contract today on £45/day. Funny old world eh?

Wrong attitude: when they want it cheaper, suggest a higher rate.
