....and you've completed your 1000th meeting, written a couple of Word docs and began the initial splash screen.

I love public sector contracts.

Private sector sinecures are much more lucrative.

True, but depends on which particular branch of the public sector you're in. That said, there are fewer carriages on the public sector gravy train these days than there used to be.

However, in terms of money invoiced measured against expected workload, public sector wins hands down.

True, but most public sector IT projects run longer, so it's £500 per day * 4000 days invoiced, is not a bad sum of easy money.

Nice one!

When a project is longer that two years, it can be very difficult to be more accurate.

"You have all done very well"
