I'm Back, and I'm Boomed!

10 May 2012, 10:42

Morning all

I know you didn't miss me so I won't bother asking.

Having been told to leave the last client co. when they realised they had over spent their budget by 15 days :

"Er, we have a problem. We can't afford to pay you anymore, don't come back tomorrow."

I have had a nice couple of weeks off before landing a new gig in the smoke at a new personal best day rate. Start next week. Govt. Gig, flexible working, WFH Fridays

Once I figure out if I have proper web access at the client site again, I may deign to grace you all with my presence once more

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

Congrats.

So you'll be at the Canary Wharf drinks in a couple of weeks then. Great !

I'll certainly do my best. As it happens I passed on a gig in CW with the ODA a couple of weeks back
