I hope some horrid German steals your deck chair by the pool.

You do know some of us hold you in high esteem as a contractor, living the high life and fulfilling the dream, don't you? If you have a setback, it causes a ripple of fear for us lesser, wind-blown, cold and rained-on and bench-vulnerable mortals.

No Germans here, in fact I have never come accross a German in any of my outsourced travels.

Yes, "fulfilling the dream" not this week, up at 7.00 IST office before 9.00, work with Indian team untill 19.00. Work with UK teams and attend calls until 22.00 IST. Back to the hotel sleep. Working Saturday, will fall asleep by the pool Sunday and get very sun burnt.

Sorry to hear about that, AP

Oh dear.

No more sipping cocktails by the pool?

You did give them biscuits like I said, didn't you?

Not going to happen to me here, as I am with the outsourced vendors.

But I did do as you suggested but sweets, biscuits too much space in the luggage

[alreadypacked]

Oh my!

How did you learn that???

I was told it is standard practice in USA for the PM to arrive at your desk on Friday afternoon and say DCM and walk off

[RichardCranium]

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Pay biscuits, get Bobs.

Can't say more, I'm on ClientCo's freebie Bob Bus.
