Have unquit my contract and been offered an extension for the new year instead. They thought I was doing a great job, I thought I was doing a sh1te job. But then again if you have expectations like mine then a really sh1te job would be called a bagpuss.

Ho hum. Can't even give 'em away.

You know it makes sense, I've been in that desolate place that is new year with no contract, it took me till february to get another.

Now I'm clearing out my desk for the umpteenth time this year. Another month another contract!

Wierd.

Not again!

I was in that pub the other day: The Royal Oak. Nice place, good staff, shame about the other customers; total idiots. Sometimes it can be a bit too gay friendly.
