Summer flounce

[Old Greg]

Well done.

Just turned down a 2 day per week 6 monther, so I can carry on at 3 days per week through the summer (actually have an x days per y months contract that averages 3 days per week so I can take it easy in the summer and then make up for lost time in the winter).

Sounds perfect OG.

Interesting... Was that a government architecture gig in London per chance? I had someone sniffing round me for a part time gig yesterday and was considering taking it on as an additional gig so I can run two at once

I think contracting is many thing for many people but I can never resist the urge to earn money if its there...

Wish me old man would think like that. He ain't rich but hes got enough in the bank that its never going to get spent. But will he hell - he'd rather struggle than spend any money at all. To be honest, its like monopoly money to him - I aint ever going to be like that!

My wife and I have worked hard all our careers, and done well enough in the past 18 years, to be able to be mortgage free this year. We don't have a sizable warchest, as we spent most making sure we could be debt free for once. However, it's enough for a few months off, and I believe strongly enough in my ability that when I do want to go back, I will find something fairly quickly. If not, well, I'll worry about that then. Life really is too short to worry about silly things, and it's only the past few years this is really coming home to me. My age I guess...

I'm back in the client office after a couple of weeks, and a contractor who started four weeks ago is no longer on site. Apparently he got called out on stuff that was on his CV that he seemed to have no skill in. As soon as it became apparent, he ran off site.

It was you, wasn't it!

65?

65?

With a mental age of 12 and the boasting skills of a Tornado flying, Major impersonating, spaghetti eating bigamist.

Just you wait.

It sort of creeps up on you.

I'm going to end up like Mr Trebus.

The best bit is about 6 minutes in when he's up the scaffolding taking it done with a rusty mole wrench.

Ah, Mr. Trebus, RIP.

[mudskipper]

Ah, Mr. Trebus, RIP.

WHS. We all loved Mr Trebus.

Up early again Walter; that jet lag must really be a bitch
