One swallow does not make a summer Shaunbhoy.

I'm going to be busy for a few days so take your opportunity while you can.....

Thats the one that worked.

Yeah, if you have any money left that is. I think I can see signs of life with the fat lady!!

To the Agent - I have booked a weeks holiday but if the client really needs me that urgently I am prepared
to cancel my holiday. This makes you the hero and your agency and client the bad guys

To your Wife. You are worth more to me than a cheap holiday at a camp site so when this contract ends
I will take you some where reallllllllllllllly nice - Just the two of us.

Are you suggesting that MF is the sort of bloke that would:
1) Lie to his wife?
2) Have to lie to his wife?

Thats a sad reflection on your view of MF his wife and their relationship......

Why don't you just tell her you don't want to go on holiday with her extended family?

"Oh darling, your mother is an interfering old bag, your sister is alcoholic and your father is Scottish!'

I can get away with that on here! Safer to get a contract.

It's only monday to Friday anyway... not exactly a "holiday" is it?

If she is going with all her family anyway, Im sure you won't be missed that much.

Hang on.....

Maybe coming live again. Feedback from agency was the client didn't like the other candidates he's interviewed all of which are instantly available.

Have texted client direct to say, if availability is still a showstopper I can duck out of the vacation if you would like to reoffer.........

Thank god all other contractors pale into insignificance when directly compared to me by clients!!!

Fingers crossed.

Muppet. Sounds like you held all the cards and just turned them all over at once. There goes your vacation.

Well, once you're convicted and thrown in the slammer, at least you'll get a bed and three square meals a day. You'll even get exercise time in the yard, and a job that pays pennies per day. Sorted.

Plus you'll probably get a lot more sex....... like it or not

[thunderlizard]

Told the agent about the holiday.

Offer rescinded.

Exactly as I thought.

Well if that's the way he treats his contractors he doesn't deserve to have any.

Thanks for the advice. I've thrown the in laws out, socked the missus in the mouth and ****ed her sister. The kids have been taken into care, I've lost the house and I'm in court next week.

Glad I listened to you.

Chill dude. This is a forum. Expect to get flamed from time to time, and try to stop being so sensitive. Granted each forum needs it's quota of bedwetters, but you really are soft. And stop posting me me me, look at me type threads, it's putting me off my tea

[MarillionFan]

You seriously need to man up. Her sister is free-loading, your missus doesn't work, and her inlaws are sponging a holiday from you.
Grow a pair, seriously
