    Sacked it off

    It occurs to me that although the first week on a contract is a bit s**t, the final week tends to be great as you are on your bike and the normal stuff you have to sort is about to go away.
    This has occurred to me now as I have just sacked off my current contract. I have a high tolerance for management, as long as they leave me alone I will happily play the game.
    Occasionally they feel the need to let people know who is the boss and the request I respond well to becomes an unreasonable order that sounds like do this.....or else.
    Such a situation occurred monday morning, instead of the usual pouring petrol on, I walked away to let the anger subside, this didn't work and I ended up even angrier. Consequently the next day I advised I was done, preferably that day...
    Not sure I am cut out to be a contractor but have you seen the forecast for next week ?!

    Well played Sir. I reckon there will be envious eyes on you from the rest of the proles still stuck there.

      Good luck and enjoy your free time - which I suspect may be cut short!
      Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.

        Not sure you would be cut out to be a permie. You will never be left alone.

          Sometimes I try to imagine what sort of offer could ever entice me to go perm, it would have to basically be extortion for me even to consider it !
