I call her 'Mistress'.....


Seriously, She's extremely switched on - helped me negotiate a 30+% rate increase a year ago....

So She's paid for herself - many times over...

I like birds who stand there own corner.

Must be my East Lancs upbringing!

Unfortunately,

Haven't had the pleasure of Barclays........ any offers considered in ITIL Service Mgt gratefully received after Dec!!!

News on Extension......

They are really pushing for twelve months - They say want stability in the role, I'm still concerned.

I thought of negotiating a rate increase and taking the twleve months if they agree otherwise it's 6 months...

Seeing client next week....

Seeing a business coach - She's got some good ideas...

Ohhhhhh, that's what they're called these days, eh?

Me too. You arn't that contractor who crashed the bus into a tree at the beer festival are you ?

Eh no, but I did accidentally knock a cyclist off his bike at the Stocks Lane (?) entrance. I miss the "trio of sausages" the canteen used to make.

Me too, 3 years in fact, working on the ESP system.

Donkeys years ago I worked with Andersen Consulting on the PCs in Branches thing.

A few years ago I worked on the Chip & Pin implementation with FI Group/Xansa for a while.

They had a good Sci-Fi book club....

I was SD - was just going onto JW when this gig came up..... I miss it but Tyne & Wear is a long way from Cheshire - needs must!

I'm also a Comp in RA - that's in Cheshire too.......

I suppose if anything turns up at Barclays Knutsford - I could always nip down!!

I did do the Cheshire Show a couple of years ago....on the Prov. stand handing out leaflets all togged up - a little odd.....

Well done! Personally I'm all in favour of that kind of thing.

Re: the Barclays thing, I did a couple of stints at Radbroke Hall.

Are UKAEA/NNC still in Knutsford?

Unfortunately,

Being at the Northern edge of the empire - I don't get much chance to perambulate as much as I'd like..... and had to let someone else carry the wand this year....

I haven't visited any yet up here - early days.

I do a half day on loi and meetings(we meet on Fridays) so things aren't too bad.

I've got JD role this year.

Thanks for the congrats....

Forgot to say....

Also WFH on Fridays too......

Don't like 12months as I feel trapped - don't mind setting up the processes and handover - don't want BAU!!


T

Great news. What about when you're tyling? Do you ever miss meetings?

[ThomasSoerensen]

Offered 12 months.....

Only wanted 6 months (concerned about long assignments) - they're coming back to me.....

Shouldn't be a problem.....

Do I get a BOOMED?




T

BOOMED!!!!
