      Depends if I've got my glasses on and whether I misfiled it under Miscellanous Crap folder or not.

        No AndyW option. These polls are going down hill faster than MFs sledges.

            being honest the last few have taken at most hours except when I've been fussy over what I wanted....

            Can't see it changing after this contract as the client is as good as I can get and the CV additions are worthy of an interview if nothing else....
            merely at clientco for the entertainment

              Being honest, the contracts have found me. Usually before I've finished the current gig (or 2).

                Not in this warm weather.

                  Longest was three months, shortest a couple of hours. In the past few years it's tended towards the longer end of the scale than the shorter.

                    That's because you're all washed up, face it.
