I wouldn't know, I'm neither a Trolley Collector nor an English Teacher. Making sure my grammar is perfect on a forum is not a priority.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostWould they also refrain from any form of visible punctuation? Difficult for me to view it from the trolley collector perspective. Hence my question to you.

Check for typo's
Checked my to-do list this morning, got a couple of things coming up, testing all day today and tomorrow, then another guy contacts me and says am I ready to start the testing for another project. I check the RAG report I got from him yesterday and it said to be done between 12 May - 31 May. So I had scheduled it for next week.
"Oh sorry, mate that was a typo, should have been the 13 May."
Oh brother gonna be a busy couple of days.

Still got a few mins for CUK while the tests are running.

I find that thinking about the rate helps, each sentence is worth a McDonald's employees daily wage.

When I used to work from home for long periods I got incredibly demotivated. What I used to do was deliberately not do any work at all Monday through Wednesday That forced me to work really hard on Thursday so I had something to show for Friday morning's telephone conference (or get canned).
That was the only way I would ever get off my @rse.

I've spent most of my 'career' manipulating it so I don't have that crap to do. That's how I ended up getting fired and moving from part-time to free time freelancing/contracting in the first place.
