Bored stupid and have been for 4 months now. Done about 3 days worth of actuall work in that time.

Management have no clue and no desire to actually do anything.

The guy who runs the team I am working with is incompetent.

But it's a decent rate, 20 mins from home and I can go to the gym at lunch time so.....

20 mins from home, frequently empty 6th floor corner office, with nice views across the city and of the Black Forest. Client doesn't care what hours I keep, so long as I get the work done (which I do). Last year, when there wasn't enough work to do, I went on a training course at their behest, and immediately gave me a project utilising my new skills. And they thought I was doing them a favour!

Two years so far. Long may it continue.

What do you do technically speaking?

[Tensai]

A well trained monkey does what I do at this place.

Hmmm, my current assignment has gone drastically downhill in the last few weeks and is now tulipe whereas it used to be OK (see thread in technical forum about fonts for an example of why).

[Bumfluff]

Current gig work is boring, but I like it alot as there is soooooo much quality eye candy here the best I have ever had the pleasure working with grrrrrrr

Yes, I do get the distinct impression that I'm the only mug in the world that pays this, but really, with this kind of contract, there's just no way out.

Well I've been in this gig for almost 3 years and had to stop claiming expenses 18 months ago as I knew it was going on longer than 2 years, if I was here much longer I would be weighing up the pros and cons of continuing outside, at least you have peace of mind.

[Pinto]

Phew ! A potential bill for 12 years ( or whenever IR35 kicked in ) of NI would of been scary.

Yes, that would kill me, I think.

[Pinto]

So you're the one!

I would rather attach electrodes to my testicles than do this gig.

That doesn't tell us much about your gig, as you like doing that anyway, don't you?
