    Nearly There II

    Last day tomorrow.

    Having to work late tonight to finish work I couldn't be bothered doing last week.

    Have absolute no motivation to do it even though I can't realistically leave till its finished

    What irritates me the most is that I that I turned down 2 other opportunities for this tulipe. Second time at this client. Decided to come back as the first time was so bad I thought there was something wrong with me. Turns out I thought wrong. They are all ******* useless.

    Eventually you realise that's true of all clientco's. Some just have bigger disasters than others.....
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      Eventually? Is 12 not enough?

      This one does take the biscuit, it's hard to think of anything they've managed to do right (except for hiring me of course)

        Do it for your own piece of mind.
        In the midst of all the crap you're dealing with, know that you kept your standards.
        Don't forget to invoice. The arrival of monies will be sweet closure.

          What percentage of jobs do you leave feeling this dissatisfaction? And do you consider it a failure or just another means to an end?

              I don't believe you walk away from 11 out of 12 jobs feeling, I've done a good job there they'll be calling me back for some more!

                    I'm sure you will do as good a job as others in management positions they've sought out.
                    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
