    I enjoy being involved and able to contribute to the project but I've been moved from one phase of it to another so the people with whom I have been working are too busy (and can't afford to budget-wise) give me anything to do. While the people with whom I am supposed to be working (and on whose budget I am) are not at the stage where they can make use of my many talents. I'd rather be at home where I can at least play about on my laptop (and on my fiances lap) but then I wouldn't get paid.

    sigh...sorry about the long rant.

    Best commute in my three years as a contractor 18 minutes (yes I've timed it ) door to door during the rush home. I can even shave a few minutes off that when I'm using my motorbike
