This very morning I have made the offer to do the proverbial walk to the potting shed with a bottle of scotch and my old service revolver, over one of the two projects I am kicking off. Nice thing about contracting is that I can just walk away. It has failure and misery watermarked into the documentation and life is too short. Interestingly my client, a very nice and competent chap, tolerates a contractor 50% of whose colleagues refuse to work with her.
