Happy 10th anniversary (to me)

[bobhope]

It's my 10 years of contracting anniversary (this weekend)

On this fateful day in 1998 I bid farewell to permieland, partly thanks to Y2K but mainly thanks to the .com boom.

Anyone else having a contract anniversary this year?

Good on yer mate

Getting close to 20 years for me. There have been fat times and lean times, but I would never go back. Once you are your own boss, you can't go back.

Respect and good luck mate

Yeah. I have one every year. Who doesn't?

Nearly 10 years for me too.

Shows how dumb I am, I've barely got a pot to piss in. They say live for today, but who's going to wipe my arse tomorrow when I'm old and decrepit!?

May have to outsource it.

I know exactly what you mean. It's sort of like is it better to have loved and lost or to have never loved at all. Sometimes wish I'd never escaped permiedom, and stayed blissfully unaware of the other options. It's much harder to do it on your own when you're a lazy sod like me, but I'm now so independent I could be classed a loner, whereas most bosses I meet I class a tosser.

Suprised you've managed to drag out those COBOL skills for so long.

Hey buddy! I'll wipe it for you - and give you some special man love too.

How does that sound

Bogeyman is Captain Jack and I certainly don't want to claim my free hand-job!

I'm saving myself for the inevitable excursion into prison for tax evasion. Though with my luck they'll actually be like a prison when I get there. No internet porn, no TV, no pizza deliveries.

And all because I said I was commuting up and down the country every weekend, claiming travel expenses, when in reality I was holed up in a brothel at the weekends with a brass called Mildred. By George I've screwed up.
