Things have gone full circle

A few years ago, I worked for a company which provided a Websphere MQ and Message Broker service to a client, a large chocolate manufacturer. At one point they decided to outsource the service to a different company, one from India. I ended up training some of them to do my job before it was handed over. They've been supporting it ever since.

Now they have a requirement for a member of the team, but they can't find anyone from the Indian company, and they can't recruit anyone either. So they've asked if I can do it instead!

How the worm has turned.

I hear it's quite hot in India this time of year. Enjoy it...

Actually, I'll probably be doing it in Slough. Nice!

Invoice them for every day between when you left and when you start back there.

Never thought I'd see those two words next to each other in print......

Full Circle

Moose, that wouldn't be Cadbury's would it? They have realised that they are still running the ancient, unsupported versions of MQ and need to do something about it..... from Inside Man

Slough - Mars

Sluff, bleargh! That place is the most depressing place on the planet, I refuse to visit ClientCo there.

Good luck if you have to work there on a daily basis.

No, as someone else said, it's Mars. But...are Cadbury's looking for MQ people?
