I should have taken it slow instead of voraciously eating up my work in the beginning. That being said, I am a one man team, so it gets a bit lonely sometimes. Hugz anyone?

It's not a maybe. You are not a contractor. Trying to act like one doesn't count.

Whinging seems to be a big part of being a contractor based on CUK...

If there's nothing to do, WFH.

How about spending your time investing in a nice avatar?
I do think a thread looks untidy when one or more posts lack an avatar (newer posters excepted).

Breath deep and take your own advice....

Happens all the time. Big companies waste money cos they've got a contractor on board but they aint set up for them or ready....

You can only do so much hassling until it gets annoying. Ask nicely but in the end you gotta go with the flow...

Work will come eventually......
