    my sidekick Bob, he refuses to take handover of what I do and has tried to move to another project but the bosses stopped him

    so Bob has said he cannot do it and cannot deliver what we've been doing (you know the tapes :-) )

    so the bosses just offered Benes Invoicing Ltd a support contract deal !

    Jeeeeez I wanted to work less, guess we should be careful what we wish for as it might happen and we might not like it.

    So there we are, two contracts now.

    Of course I have made clear priority will be given to the new customer and if I have time I will do my best to support the Bobs, but definately having a framework support contract in place makes everything formal and nicer and i'll get paid :-)

    Boomed

    Same thing has just happen to me.
    Got a call from the client I was with last year and asked me to come and sort things out.
    Still with current client.
    Again not sure if this is a good thing

    The joy of sending 2 invoices every month.
    Unfortunately they sometimes expect work in return for the invoices.
    Be carefull not to over extend yourself. You still need time to drive in the nice passat ;-)
