My very first gig in central london. Easily 1.5 hours each way, and about 3.5 hours door to door. Up at 6, train at 7, office at 8:30. Leave by 5:45, and home at 7:30. Good thing is that all travel is done via trains, and underground during peak hours is a revelation. That being said, the location is bang in central london, so plenty of places to walkabout and have food during lunchtime!

I used to leave home at 4:30am Tuesday morning. Then a full English breakfast at the Eurotunnel terminal staff canteen at 7:30. Start work at 10am (local time) in France. Finish about 6pm - and asleep at 8pm...

Back home thursday evening. Working from home Monday and Friday.

Used to leave home at Sunday 9pm, Midnight Ferry to Calais (one hour-ish snooze on ferry. Arrive 2:30am ish.
Drive to NL arr 5:00 - 5:30 am and get some sleep for 9am start. The only cars on the road during the night were Brtits, no doubt they were contractors as well.

What's that got to do with having a beer at the Crab and Dragon?

As I was working in France, I'd just get a bottle of wine, some brie and a baguette on the way back.

Up at 3:30 this morning, 210 mile drive to the office.

I need a holiday!

Thanks for listening.

And that's what chucked me off about being a permie.

Yes, I have had that sort of thing as a contractor, but at least I was getting the wonga to make it worthwhile.

And no accounts department querying my expenses either.

And that last sentence is proof positive you're a bird. Hi Mudskipper!

"A nice bath with a glass of red then 5 mins on the rabbit"

Eeew MF is thinking about me in the bath.

I quite often work evenings as I've multiple contracts and a plan B... I try to stop at 10 but you know, I still find something strangely enjoyable about having dinner and then getting stuck into some coding until 11.30. The only issue is turning my mind off so I can go to sleep so a bath & glass of red helps there

Day off today. Beautiful out there - intended to go for a cycle before heading into town and perusing the British Museum. Instead I went for a fiddle and kip.

FTFY (be honest!)

I'm doing a piece of work outwith my main contract just now, finished at 12 last night and did a couple of hours before leaving for the office this morning. Been like that for the last 3 weeks as well as trying to keep up a 60 mile a week running regime.

I'm feckin' shattered and coffee is getting me through.
