According to the people inside my TV you should now be decorating a room whilst contemplating your summer holiday, stopping only briefly to sip a smoothie and snack from graze box

Contractors pay would reflect a non salaried Job, maybe you didn't negotiate well enough.

So in that case I recommend some reading to be done..

@bikebouy - negotiation is part of what i do.
Those who can - do; those who can't just write about it 😆

Well put, well maybe... However just those pesky deadlines are getting in the way so office to myself some podcasts and sneaking riding in the middle

One more day of chill and beer, back to work tomorrow for three days of intensive testing "because the phones will be quiet". Better hope they are, otherwise we'll be testing into the new year...

Working tomorrow til Friday* but have 10 days in Gran Canaria in January.

*In theory, although I have a cold so if it's quiet may just keep an eye on emails from home.

It's only over if you accept the retail industry's diktat that's over. Christmas is a 12 day event, we're on day 3. You have another 10 days of being warm, kind, and generous.

Physio to help rebuild my knee and hopefully get back on the mtb in 2017, along with better time management and less time down the boozer.

Bored out of my tiny mind now - Mrs has to work all week bar Thursday when I have to work because people who work in my office but do a completely different job to me have to work, despite the fact I'm often reminded I do a completely different job to them when we talk about over-time or stay-away jobs near nice riding venues. Anyway rant over.

No riding for me till the weekend, just more cabin fever as the kids won't be shifted from their new stuff.

I've done the dishes twice, cleaned every stitch of clothing in the house and I hate myself for this - I've read an email from LinkedIn - it's THAT bad.
