Which is of course only a small subset of a larger group known as 'losers' on this board.:rolleyes

Cheers Franco. As soon as I have it in writing and will not look a complete idiot if it falls through, I will of course be having a colossal sneer at all the contractless losers on this board. I can feel a huge sneer swelling inside me right now.

Depends what you mean traj. Last real major dosh rolling in each month was about this time 2002 but have had various odds and sods of contract work since then, last was about three months ago.
Apart from short xmas things and visits to occasional client meetings, been working mostly at home for over four years. Unfortunately this one is a typical crappy client sitey thing and l'll have to stay away in week.
Ah well, look on the bright side:
money + away from home = lotsa nice fat prossies
Except:
The missus will want to spend it all on new kitchen, new bathroom suite, power shower, new 3 piece suite etc etc bore bore. I have always managed to avoid wasting good prossie money on such tedious things by claiming lack of funds when out of contract and lack of time when in one but I sense the excuses are wearing a bit thin.

> Any ideas re retreiving this desperate situation?
The first day is tricky but thereafter there should be no problem - just arrive as you normally do - 2 hours late reeking of whisky and piss. If the rate is really low and they are desperate enough to put up with that then do the same the next day but try to @#%$ yourself in the reception.

Don't know, but don't give squirrels Viagra. It doesn't do them any good.
