Reply to: New gig - weird client

[NickFitz]

There are some very nice places to stay on the outskirts of Birmingham.

Edinburgh should be far enough out.

I thought it was an obvious joke based on this comment by AtW

Ah ..... Missed it ......

[eek]

But I thought you posted a Booommeedd in April starting a dream permie gig at an IB that you have been waiting for for 2 years?

I thought you were at a hedge fund in Londinium?

I thInk the OP will need to be careful. In a recent statistical study men who wore squirrel costumes to the office were 99.9% likely to be virgins with an overly
Opinionated sense of self importance regarding financial matters with a 50% chance of doing harm to others if metal cutlery had not been replaced with plastic.

Stratford-on-Avon?

That's a good choice. When I worked in South Birmingham I stayed in Henley-in-Arden with Mrs Pritchard.

Stratford-on-Avon?

I did indeed join a hedge fund from an IB - I have been waiting 2 years and applying to all the hedge funds I can. Finally I got my lucky break!

But the lure of Birmingham was too great. How can any mortal man resist?

I do wish the client would stop rocking on his "chair"(inflatable sheep). How can I post drivel and make up my invoice with that distraction?

He wanted to pay 90% in Euros and 10% in "NorthernLadyUK vouchers" - whatever they are.

Always handy for Mrs BP

[BrilloPad]

Does he pay in euros?

I just picked up this gig in Birmingham. I didn't want to move to such a hell hole but its cheap and the mug client is paying through the nose.

The think is the client wears a squirrel costume the whole time. And surfs these mail order bride websites. As long as the mug pays up who cares eh?

[Mich the Tester]

no amount of money will get me into a squirrel costume.

What kind of a contractor is that?
