    They want me back...

    ...maybe

    Had a contractor friend still on the previous contract just call me up.

    A PM has just walked in asking if she knew of any accredited ITIL trainers that could do TNA/development/training for ITIL. Apparently he then asked her if she was ok as she'd gone a funny colour....

    CF: "Do you remember Cojak?"
    PM "Dark haired, glasses?"
    CF: "Yep, that's her - she could do that for you"
    PM: "Where is she, I haven't seen her around lately"
    CF: "She's gone - her contract didn't get renewed"
    PM: "Oh Dear, that's a shame - she might have known where I could find an accredited ITIL auditor..."
    CF: goes a darker shade of purple.....
    CF: "Do you remember Cojak? Dark haired, glasses?"
    PM: "Why did you let her go?"
    CF:"I DIDN'T LET HER GO - I KNEW SHE WAS NEEDED - THE MUPPETS IN PMO LET HER GO!"



    but I can't see them asking me back - I suspect someone would rather gnaw off their right b*ll**k than admit they made a mistake...

      Thanks but I'm already in a nice little contract.

      But if they offered a substantial rate increase...

        If they weren't so useless, they probably wouldn't need contractors in the first place

                This is the 2nd contract within the month I'll have to turn down 5*, so there might be a Plan B out there for me.

                I haven't the energy or enthusiasm to look at the mo'. Maybe in a few months time....
