Free! At last.....
-
End of contract in a few months! Free to find pastures anew, new challenges. OK, being a mortgage whore always compromises ones self expresion, and quite frankly, with that crew, it took some compromise: Bunch of cliquey self protective ingrates. They didnt know what work meant, jesus, I have never, NEVER, produced so little code while working, let alone contracting. Discusssion, farting around, JUST GET ON WITH IT! Get the freaking product done for christs sake. No wonder I ppissed them off in the end, bunch of sluggards! No wonder they are loosing ground! Time to reassert my masculinity, god knows I held back enough. Utterly sick of it! Anyway, a nice holliday coming up. Time to relax, destress, and chill a bit, do some more work on the house... Anyone else out there in contractor/mortgage whore land who gets locked into a dull contract who has been happy to finish?
============================== Nothing to say.

The times I had to bite my tongue, in the face of such lassitude. THey would get into work at 9:30. take an hour tes break at 10:30. An hour for lunch, then a tea break for an hour at 15:00. And go home at 17:30. Holy crap, I have never seen such lack of effort! It is shocking. Truly. I really had to hold back on what I felt, believe me. :)

I once contracted for a county tax assessment office that ran the same way. Except 10:30 was the half hour popcorn break. One lady had me rig the tab order on a screen to jump a field that she *hardly* ever used cause she was so busy she didn't have the time to hit tab once more. This same lady also spent about an hour a day walking around the office talking to people an occasionally handing out cookies. I'd have pointed out her stupidity, but they were good cookies. :rolleyes:

Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett
