There is no fair or unfair. That's for children, bedwetters (and some perms), and an early lesson they should have is that life isn't fair.

I had one client tell me not to bother coming in next day as they had run out of money. Paid till the end of that day and then out.

Well, sort of - not my first end of contract of course, but my first to fall through at the 11th hour. Extension was signed, but apparently not quite sealed!
Bit gutted to be honest, was a good contract that might have had some further potential. And a bit of a surprise as I confess I was working on the presumption it was all in hand, but I suppose once in 7 years is a decent stat.
