Life of a Contractor

[phayes]

Hi All,

I have been contracting Ltd 3 yrs now and the reason i did it was to take more time off to climb around the world, the money is secondary.

So far this year I have had 3 months off and been to Turkey, Greece, South of France, South of Spain and about to go to Thailand for 6 weeks at Christmas.

Each time i finish a contract I negotiate time off before i start a renewal or a find a new contract when i get back and I still manage to save money and pay my mortgage.

I know one day I will get trapped by a women, but until then i am going to live a little.

Just excited about getting out of the wetlands.

P. :-)

Working away has ****ed my marriage up, looking back I think I probably had something to do with it as well.....

You need to go to Cyprus, Ibiza and Tenerife before you qualify for 'Round the World' status.
Your Chufty badge is in the post.

Congratulations?

The question mark is amusing. Does it indicate mixed emotions? Incomprehension, nostalgia, envy, pity, sympathy, etc, all skilfully woven into a single word?

Oh come on Tay it was only a light hearted post - or doesn't your antipodean humour extend to our less palatable type here?

Thailand - you can go there any time? Why not skiing?

The Mrs and I took 18 months off between permiedom and becoming a contractor for the 1st time about 4 years ago.

I'd highly recommend an overland trip through Africa and a jaunt out to the Galapagos if you're flush. Staying out in the Galapagos rather than rocking up, getting on a boat for a week, and then leaving is really cool!
