    New gig - weird client

    I just picked up this gig in Birmingham. I didn't want to move to such a hell hole but its cheap and the mug client is paying through the nose.

    The think is the client wears a squirrel costume the whole time. And surfs these mail order bride websites. As long as the mug pays up who cares eh?

    Ask him about business rates on the new premises, and if he is planning on having sofas delivered there.
    Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

            Indeed. I have to sit on this inflatable sheep!

            Just keep counting the money. Though no amount of money will get me into a squirrel costume.

              What kind of a contractor is that?

                  He wanted to pay 90% in Euros and 10% in "NorthernLadyUK vouchers" - whatever they are.
