    This gig is like pulling teeth.....

    Well, teeth are falling out by themselves – I lost a filling to a baguette when in France – they are dangerous things.

    Direction and control is out of the window have been given a list of dates and activities. Clientco want a fresh contract every week as opposed to rolling, which is absolutely insane. Going to Perpignan over May bank holiday, but not sure if I should be booking from Manchester or Birmingham airport near clientco.

    Had a frank chat yesterday – the timesheet signer-offer (otherwise known as God around these parts) was refreshingly open and verymuch mindful of the toxic nature of middle managements difficult attitude, and the knee-jerked twatness surrounding it. This place really does bend people out of shape. I am believing more in nurture than nature now.

    Listening to Gloria Gaynor on Youtube just now – I Am What I Am and I Will Survive is getting me through.

    Still, gives the permies a sense of purpose..... Bless them.

              He was, until the contract started making his teeth fall out!
