    The contract that has kept me in beer, holidays and trips to Millmoor for the last few years has just been terminated. With extreme prejudice. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Now I've got to get out into the market place and sell my arse again...

        Sorry to hear that G.O.

        What is your field of expertise again? You never know - the old 'OTF networking' thing might come into play again.

          Poor show, GO.

          I hope you don't have to go as long as I did without a job.

          Good luck.

                ...and trips to Millmoor
                Not all bad then, eh?

                I'm sure it'll be fine, GO. You, unlike us other job seekers, appear to have skills, experience and other valuable qualities that don't involve watching Good Morning/Loose Women/Doctors.

                  "Good morning, loose women doctors" has a certain ring to it.

                      I hate Loose Women, which is weird as I used to think loose women were aces.

                        Oh dear, really sorry to hear that GO. There's never a good time is there? But I'm sure you'll find something else. Good luck with the search.

                          Thanks, y'all.

                          Clive (and anyone else who's interested) I'm one of the large band of otf programmers, specialising in VB and SQL Server. I hope I'm wrong but I can't imagine anyone on here wanting someone who appears to spend as much time chatting virtually as I do. However I can stop if I want to...

                          I'm off down the Dickens in Paddington for an after dinner beer if anyone's game. Looks like I picked the right week to start drinking again...

                            'appears'?

                            And what does "with extreme prejudice" mean?

                            Sorry to hear, GO.

                              Funny you should ask that, 'cos when I came in this morning, the guy who I've been working for told me that the new CEO had said he should get rid of me immediately. However the CEO's gorn orf to Santiago de Compostela for a week, so I'm now been told to be back in on Tuesday...

                                GO, the new CEO might not like "Magnum PI"...

                                Anyway, tagging my own story to this, yesterday was my last day of my 11 years assignement with Big Blue and my employer is starting me on a new assignement with an even more awful company (think E and oil) on wednesday. Or maybe not, I would like to pull out and take redundancy to enjoy my summer but it's a bit difficult now but a sudden twist has occured today (discrepancy between offer and actuall contract in term of pay) which might offer a way out.

                                  Just show up and pretend to still have the job. The guy's on vacation. If you still have the job, it's fine. If you don't have the job, by the time he comes back, you're ensconced!!!
