do you actually spend working during the day? I'm usuallly on site for 7.5 hours a day. Probably spend only 10% of that actually doing any work. The rest of my time is spent web browsing, reading the paper in the toilets and eating. I wish there was more work here for me to do but such is life.

I have jacked in my current gig, highest rate for ages, because there is not enough to do. As a contractor my edge is to be able to work hard, fast and accurate. If I cant keep practicing that then I am offski.
I reckon I wont slow down till I'm about 61

You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
