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.

And how so - is the client giving you a load of gyp or your permy cow irkers?
edit: decided "cow irkers" was a better spelling then coworkers, because they can be so bovine and irksome

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
