    "We don't develop contractors"

    All I wanted was to look at a GWT book on their intranet.

      I always feel bad about leafing through manuals when contracting. I tend to duck off and sit in the can with a book if I need to look
      something up.

      You know what they say about assumptions!

              Yep, part of the contractor's survival guide is a USB stick full of PDF's and e-books. Then you don't have to bother about the whingers.

                  thanks mate

                  there's a always a warm sense of satisfaction when starting a new assignment as soon as you find the location of the knowledge warehouse

                  and

                  especially if they have a more uptodate collection than the previous assignment


                  Bunk,

                  agreed
