Who would have thought that I'd be celebrating working and earning less but that day has finally come!

3 days a week for November and likely to continue beyond that for a few more months. After that will be 3-4 days with the extra day at my own descretion!

2 weeks...

[psychocandy]

As you know left last client a few weeks ago. Got the boot because they decided no-one over 2 years (and I'd been there 4+). Hey ho thats the way it goes.

I've got a new gig lined up. They asked me if I know any decent permies. I did. One of the guys are last client whos not happy there....

I've just found out I'm on the good list after sitting on a certain somebody's lap. I've asked for a sticky and a chocolate orange.

I notice that BBC Question Time is quite a popular topic in the Brexiteer Community so we should have one here.

Tonight Fiona Bruce is joined in Dulwich by Jeremy Wright MP, David Lammy MP, Mairead McGuinness MEP, Ash Sarkar and Charles Moore.

Firstly, remember she was a Remainer. Why would she change her beliefs?
So she's in power, makes some outrageous right-wing statements, pretends she's for a hard Brexit (which really is only supported by cretins), pretends to ignore 48% of the electorate, thus pissing them off, then calls an...

Just heard from a friend. That girl was walking down the street in burqa. Police was called , took all the data but couldn't confirm identity so the girl was taken to the station and inspect *face* by female police officer. Life of a Muslim in Poland oO

As we now appear to be pretty much merging every thread into another thread so it appears no-one is creating any new ones (ie. Brexit, Daily Mail) I note there are some others we've not yet done.

So I've been back out on the bike for the last few weeks, cycling everywhere around and about. I've also been doing a circuit each day, it's not long about 6 miles which requires me to cycle up a hill for two miles that gets steeper as you climb. Did the circuit twice this morning in just over an hour....

What's your minimum day rate? I've just been offered some work at £550 pd but it's far less than my usual rate - is it worth it?
I've only been on the bench for two days so thinking I should hold out for more?

Due to a 'fracas' with a producer apparently.
