New gig. The one they turned down over availability because of my holiday.
I heard that they didn't like the last few contractors they interviewed, so I emailed the client direct and said 'Look if my holiday is a real showstopper for you, then I'll not go on it'
So just went back down, discussed it, and I finish contract on Wednesday next, new one on Thursday and will take 3 days of my 5 day holiday (this showing compromise on both sides).
It took me, 3 minutes to drive to the new client site!!!!
Commute time has just dropped from 2.5 hours a day to 6 minutes!!!
BOOOOOOMMMMMEDDDDDDDDDD!
Wahey!!! All that AND a caravan holiday with the in-laws to look forward to. You've really landed on your feet MF!!
