    Lack of personal interaction

    This is the one thing I notice since going back contracting from being perm.

    Maybe it's the run of contracts in the last 12 months with this site being the worse. For 4 weeks I have been stuck in an attic on my own. Nobody to talk to all day. Then off for a lonely lunch.

    The core team is in a building at the other end of the client site. Earlier in the year I was on an outsourcing project where I was the only rep on site and not allowed to talk to people.

    Soul destroying. Truly soul destroying.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      Maybe you should try deodorant.

        There's a common factor here: you.

              Aah. Bless.

              But that does explain why you're all over this site like a bloody rash all day!

              Try doing some work and you won't be so lonely.

                I've run out. That's why I've given notice.

                Bloody place doesn't even have proper Internet access!

                    It hasn't. They had some stuff wanting developed. They reckoned 50 days. I've done it in 15 and that was with posting on here and taking it slowly!!!
