How Sweet

[BrowneIssue]

hey bi - how's it going?

Not bad at all. Finished the last gig on Friday afternoon 9 days ago and started the new, much better gig the following Monday.

All our stuff is in storage and the missus & I are living in a room above a pub until we find a new home. Paid for by MyCo, of course.

For some strange reason I'm not feeling at all well today. I wonder if it is anything to do with the five hours I spent in the bar downstairs last night...?

[BrilloPad]

Any one else felt/feel appreciated in their gig?

Yes! I have always been paid hence I always felt appreciated......

I once had a manager in tears as I was leaving.

Then he paid me and I let him go

post of the day surely!

Was your contract in Havant? I wondered because I helped design an app called Watchdog there, and one of its components was called Backdog. Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree

Might be this

I was also barking up the wrong hole...I mean tree

[DS23]

I got loads of people coming up and saying "Please don't go" and "We were relying on you fixing this place for us" and "Why do all the decent contractors leave?"

Bleedin' whingeing, impotent and thick permies. I'm glad to be out of there.

hey bi - how's it going?

Finished contract with client apart from two ad-hoc days to do.

Went in Friday and had..

• Several drinks brought me in the pub – plus lunch

• Box of choc’s and wine from IT dept done with formal ‘Good Bye’
speech from the Head of IT.

• Selection of Choc’s from the PR dept

Almost felt as if I was a permie…..

Quite sad to leave ( sounding like Sallyann)

I was given a nice bottle of Irish Whiskey when I left my last gig. Got a couple of bottles of decent wine at Christmas last year too from the senior stakeholders and the contractors got invited to the Christmas bash along with the permies.

I think they tend to wait until I have gone before popping the champagne

Yes indeed. Couldn't give a stuff about any of that leaving tosh, as long as the final timesheet is signed.
