**Gaffer** · Oct 31st, 2002, 09:28 AM

I'm working 6 days a week, 11-12 hours a day. I have had my 1 day holiday cancelled 3 times, the latest being next Friday's holiday, where i have a 3 day trip to Marrakech cancelled, costing me £500 in flights, no refund from the airline nor from Sumitomo Bank. I have to work over Xmas too. I am hugly stressed and not overly enjoying it.

but the pay is fooking great, so whaddyado?

Anything else on the go for you?

All being well, the next project the company is getting, is state side for a rather large company. if they get it (which looks likely) gonna be working over there for a couple of months. which is ideal for me

Just bought myself a digi-camera as well

**Ianpbaker** · Oct 31st, 2002, 09:49 AM

**Ianpbaker** · Oct 31st, 2002, 11:04 AM

no chance of beer anytime soon then mate ?

**Gaffer** · Oct 31st, 2002, 11:42 AM

May be able to, but not until next fortnight I reckon.... can you get the guys at galah on too?

**Ianpbaker** · Oct 31st, 2002, 06:06 PM

Already spoken to ranj about it and as usual he's up for it, shouldn't be hard to pursuade duncan and crispin as well

**Gaffer** · Nov 1st, 2002, 04:57 AM

Cool.... oh I got the bullet yesterday - well, contract not extended past Dec 31st. They ran out on money this year.
Good news - could be back in March, **** ups notwithstanding...

**Ianpbaker** · Nov 1st, 2002, 05:00 AM

so up to christmas and thats it for a while ?

at least you will get that time off that you so much wanted

**Gaffer** · Nov 1st, 2002, 05:01 AM

exactly - but it depends on the certainlty of work in March - 3 onths off would be ideal

I have another opportunity in Russia too....(seriously)

**Ianpbaker** · Nov 1st, 2002, 05:02 AM

does it appeal ?

**Gaffer** · Nov 1st, 2002, 05:17 AM

mmm, startup company. They pick up "broken" projects around Europe. The pay would be less initally (but I was on a bit of a dream ticket here anyway), but the interest level would be excellent - dunno, need a break first!

Are you definately on for you next adventure? Told anyone yet?

**Ianpbaker** · Nov 1st, 2002, 05:21 AM

Nothing is definate yet as I think a2a is still finalising things with the company. But it will be ncie if I do get to go over there

. No signs of them putting me full time yet so I'm still enjoying the good life of the contractor. Signed up with www.parasolit.co.uk and they are charging me 38 quid a month to do everything for me
