It's a laptop environment. Also it's a 24/7 environment.... I left yesterday. I could have stayed until the end of the week, but as there was no work available, I duly left as soon as I could get my head around the tulip experience. Not the first time, and surely not the last time I'll take on a tulip role, but I am now more wary of going direct.Originally posted by CheeseSlice View PostIf its not your last day yet, time to head to the supermarket and buy a nice fresh fish (or a reduced one), some sticky tape (or cable ties for a professional job) and a philips screwdriver. Take into clientco in a cool bag and work late on your last day. Find PC belonging to the relevant numpty and 'fix' his/her noisy fan before you leave.

I wouldn't call being out of contract and not earning an income lucky.

I wasn't given the chance to do the job. I could have pretty much started to do the work this week. Clientco didn't want to find out.

Apparently I am not skilled enough... which they knew before I started.
