Still Lurking...

Hi again,

Still lurking, but as I requested my username and password to be reset, on filling out my profile I did smile inside at one of the profile options (bottom option):

On the contracting side, I did get my first break - 13 months ago now. I'm still delivering in the same non-financial institution that was initially for a three-month period, and I can safely say that embarking on this journey was well worthwhile for me. I do, however, loathe the M25.

Good morning. My name's Kevin...

And what is your name in the afternoons? Helen?

I'm based in a rural area of the UK the long commute times wasn't something that was acceptable to my wife. I no longer have that restraint.

OK, I'm intrigued. Which one had to go, the wife or the house in the country?

Oh and welcome to the forum too.

The correct answers are:

Yes.
No.
In the sideboard, help yourself.
In the kitchen. but I wouldnt trust the houmus, it's a bit out of date.

The houmous was fine

Well if you've been lurking for a while you should be able to answer these.

Gladiators?
Curtains, Rug, Carpet?
Booze?
Food?

Hi Dave,

When I say 'a while' I guess that's a relative term. I've been looking at the forums since last Sunday.

I did do a search for 'gladiators' here, and that yielded an incredible amount of results given the nature of these forums lol. Alas, I gave up at page 2 of the search results so I'm afraid I'll have to fail the initiation

Hi all,

I've been lurking on these forums for a little while now because I'm wishing to move away from the permie world into contracting. It's something I looked at a few years ago but because I'm based in a rural area of the UK the long commute times wasn't something that was acceptable to my wife. I no longer have that restraint.

I must say that the advice on these forums has been an excellent resource to me and I like all general sense of humour displayed. I think I'm pretty much set now; just awaiting my first break.

Anyway, just thought I'd say 'Hi' and I'm looking forward to being part of the community.
