Why bother continuing contracting? If you've survived being in an office full of dead and decaying Black Death and Ebola victims then surely you'd be able to make more cash out of your use to military and scientific research.

Yes. Make sure you take a photo of yourself at your desk, with the dead PM in the background as evidence.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostOh bugger seemed to have picked up a heavy dose of Black Death and Ebola virus.
Managed to get into the client and do a days work, but bugger me, everyone in the building has died and so has my project manager so I cannot get my time sheet signed.
Shall I invoice the agency anyway?

I've had that, it kills permies every-time. I think you can get away with signing one or two time-sheets yourself, which should be enough to find another contract and have another foreign holiday, at the risk of perpetuating the 'dead time-sheet signers' cycle.
