Reply to: Well would you....

[original PM]

not sure if I could do it I was staying away on a long term basis (I would nto be interested in having an affair when all you really want is sex)

however an illicit one night encounter in a Holiday Inn overlooking the M4 with a middle aged slightly saggy sales lady is much more exciting.

This is shy I like being a single guy. If a decent contract comes up I don't have to think about the Mrs or little Johnny when I think about taking it. Makes the decision so much easier.

Yeah, but I got to the point where I wanted to live in my own home, with access to my own kitchen and decent restaurants nearby, not some grotty hotel or B&B with no view, no decent sounds etc.

a) no AndyW option

b) no gig will ever again make me spend another night away from my wife. Either the money covers her accommodation too, or I don't take the gig. I didn't get married to live in some firkin hotel room on my own.

I'd go along with b) except...

1. She doesn't want to end up somewhere where she doesn't know anyone.
2. It gets expensive if you have to bring the kids along as well, (during the holidays when they're not a boarding school, of course ).

BBB everytime.

Is that like the FFFF?

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Did it once and it was instrumental in ending a pointless marriage so on balance was a good thing. Don't plan on doing it again (but didn't plan it first time) currently feel I have too much to lose. The is a very high coefficient of flange at current gig mind you

I must admit, Mr C complains that I keep him awake of a weekend because he's used to 'sleeping on his own again'...

'with the woman next-door'

[cojak]

The truth of it is, it's my other half who keeps me awake snoring, so spend the weekends in the spare room

but still......

Away from home at the moment, hating it ! Been doing this for too many years now. Getting to the point of considering a permie position just to be close to home.

Look on the bright side; while away from home you can snore and fart to your heart's content all night without getting an elbow in your ribs.

a) no AndyW option - NO

b) no gig will ever again make me spend another night away from my wife. Either the money covers her accommodation too, or I don't take the gig. I didn't get married to live in some firkin hotel room on my own.

I must say that up until now, chasing contracts meant that I'd work almost anywhere.

I will be looking for a contract a commute away from home next time...

I just have to be stronger about saying "no" to a good contract that involves staying away...

Will have to speak to Mr C about this. I would hate to pass a good contract only for him to ask me if I was mad/ill..
