    This "invisible punctuation" sounds like an interesting concept in meta-grammar.

    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.

    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.

    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.
