That's the spirit! Back at ya TD!Originally posted by David71 View Post
6 months on the current gig, just been asked if I want to extend until November (just waiting for a rate re-negotiation).
2 years on the gig before that.
6 months before that.
1 year before that.
Slotted in a three day gig at the same time as the 2 year one, I left as it wasn't what was 'sold' plus another I left early due to a family emergency.
Want a copy of my cv?

Is this guy still your manager or has he been promoted yet?Originally posted by David71 View PostOne of the things I miss about being permie is having a workmate you can rant at; so you lot can get it instead.
Set up a process for stakeholder reviews of test designs last October / November - all stakeholders agreed. Project manager then decides to 'tweak' my process, moving activities around etc. I didn't like the changes, but there we are.
First meeting today and halfway through everyone agrees it would be better if we had the activities in a different order - exactly the order I set up in the first place
