Why does this happen? Accept the gig and then I get a number of offers, some better, but can't accept. This week I have been offered 4 gigs and each one is pretty good (one was €70,000 for just 87 days cover) but because the war chest is getting pretty low I accept the first albeit it is probably better for expanding my skills horizon but still...This happened last time I was looking for a new project and really winds me up. Is there some kind of mystical being that just wants to wind you up? Mind you it shows that the market is healthy for my skills...

Ditto, took a gig and a 12 monther came up doing the work I like best. I've never dumped a client before but this time I'm tempted.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I've never done it either, but seeing as they'll dump you at the drop of a hat, it might be worthwhile.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

The car, the apartment, the finery (I am a contractor for gods sakes!) and of course taxes. I'm paying the taxes for 2007 at the moment and have another one for 2008 coming up. Germany tax is worked out slightly different to UK tax.Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Probably a different field to me. These are all mainframe sysprog positions. Hope you're checking out Gulp though, seen a couple of positions in DA recently. Good luck...Originally posted by expat View PostJust finishing in Darmstadt at the end of next week and looking for something to do“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
