    A long day

    I get to work at home with this gig, great.

    The boss is in the west coast USA and comes online for a catch up, hmmm

    14 hours straight on the PC and still talking to him and making minor changes...

    However, iTunes blasting away, it's cold outside and so is the beer in front of me.

    Would you do a gig like this?
    Me, me, me...

    I wouldn't mind working one or two day from home every week, but don't like to be based at home throughout the assignment. Mind you as usual it all depends on the rate, I can see the benefit of working from home financially, maximum earning, minimum expenses.

        I probably did enough today to take the next three days off though. At least no clocking in, wearing suits, listening to permie bitching, HR induction, motorway driving, crap coffee, <fill in the blank>.

                yep its only 7 hours each.



                I used to do support for 24 hrs straight, longest was 36 hours when the vendor wasn't quite sure how to fit a lan card. Luckily I got to sleep most of it. Lovely moolah, paid off the mortgage!
