    Hours!

    Pah. As I remind my client on a daily basis I am paid by the day not the hour and my contract has no "expected hours clause". They're damned lucky I don't go home after 20 mins. Apart from its a 2 hour drive each way.

    Not meaning to add insult to injury and hurt anyone's feelings, I managed to squeeze a couple of grand from their coffers.
    So, back to Greece then, Zorba?

    I got naff all - including no extension. Still, no one else did either, so that's the name of the game!

    Anyone got some bench polish?

    I told my client I was taking 2 weeks away from work over the Xmas break.

    They extended the contract by another 2 weeks!!
