Now the missus is moaning that I am about to bin the 'caravan' holiday she booked with her parents to take on a new contract with an immediate start.

"Well! Why won't they wait longer for you?'

Answer : Because I am presently IT Contracting, and I am therefore a commodity to be bought and sold on the basis of cost & availability.

(Bearing in mind my missus got offered 10 days work for £3000 having not worked for 18 months and turned it down because she had agreed to go to her sisters for a couple of days!!)

So one of your neighbours is winding you up. Who have you pissed off recently?

Oh this one is getting bizarre(having editted the thread) in case the agency/client worked out based on the details I left.

The agent firstly didnt want to put me forward because I wasnt immediately available(as I am on notice) and so I was left with the impression I hadnt been put forward.
Then the agent just sent me the contact details for the client and told me to set my own interview up and let him know how I get on.
I left a couple of messages for the guy and heard nothing for three days. He then phoned me and we did a phone interview with me sat in the car.
He was very dull and I mean DULL! and after 15 minutes I started to say that it would be best if they went with someone who was immediately available because I wasn't. I emailed the agent to say thanks, but no thanks. I heard nothing for a week.

Agent has just emailed me. 'When can you start????'

Oh. Plus its at the end of my road.....

I would have thought they'd use roombas to reduce the risk of being infiltrated.

They're starting to use Roombas at the old peoples nursing homes here too.

Pity the person who has to clean up, and it out, when it runs over an 'accident'.

I wish Hays paid a £100 per day for MI5!

Whoops.....

[MarillionFan]

He'd left in agency name, client name and number and the rate he was getting


Mind you, £100 per day is hard to undercut!

They looking for someone who will quit the contract after a week then?

and they asked for a hard contractor type who would take no tulip. Just remember who I am.....

[DimPrawn]

Came across a perfect contract at the weekend. 1 mile from my house, 20% better rate than I am on, and a 100% perfect match with what my present contract is.
