I kind of hoped that wasn't the case - apologies for insensitivity.

Worry not; she was almost 18 & had had a long & comfortable life.

Much more so, I suspect, than if I'd left her where I found her, cunning beast that she was.

Permanently.

She's buried in the garden now.

WHS with knobs on.

So far today I've made two PCBs, installed a USB2 interface into a PC, got the slide scanner thingie from Maplin to work, and scanned 11 photos of my ex-cat.

you split up with your cat?

Stupidly busy, and an American client so been working until 02:00...03:30 most nights.

Ah, the smell of US$ to keep me going...

Good job we're talking about this. I've just remembered some comedian invited me to a meeting this afternoon.

I've restarted my PC a couple of times. Does that count?

That's 11 photos, 1 scanner, 1 USB2 interface and 2 PCB's more than me

I'm on the lowest day rate I've been on for around 5 years, and am busier than Amanda Holden's botox nurse. V depressing.

I'm on the lowest day rate I've been on for exactly 20 years. I'm working, but I'll be damned if I'll give them my health, sanity, and personal life for that.

I put 25% / 75%, and that's on a "very busy" day, and I'm on the best money I've ever been on. Weird situation.

I don't find it weird at all, in fact in 5 years of contracting it's been the norm for me, even earning 550 a day and doing nothing for 6 months for an outsourcing team that was doing a project for a multinational telecoms company. Just because they had budgeted for 10 people, they had 10 even though only 2 did any work ...

Got a contract through these hallowed forums, and I'm actually having to work!

I find this more difficult than being busy. It's hard to fill a day with nothing.

I can't be the only one doing sweet FA?
