PM>> The story that someone told me was that CSC were going to consolidate

 PM>> their offices into one and were moving to the American Express biulding

 PM>> in North Ryde He's either wrong or very much better informed that you

 PM>> are!



 PE> It's always possible they sent out a memo and I didn't read it.  I have

 PE> this pile of old paper on my desk, and sometimes people consider that to

 PE> be an "in-tray".  The rest of my desk is covered by a
relatively thin

 PE> layer of old paper too.  I have something that looks like an in-tray, but

 PE> that contains lots of pens etc.  They sometimes decide that is an in-tray

 PE> too.  I admit it is easy to make a mistake there.



At my old job my in tray was used to hold spare nuts, bolts, jumpers, SCSI
terminators etc. I actually had two desks, one with a PC and one with a
Sun, so I even managed to confuse people about which desk to drop stuff on.



 PM>> Speaking of North Ryde, I'm working out there at the moment. I finally

 PM>> bit the bullet and resigned from ISSC and took a three month contract at

 PM>> GEC Marconi (*not* the soccer club!)



 PE> From the amount of hassles you had whilst in employment, it would sound

 PE> like permanent contracting is the way to go for you.  Are you going

 PE> through a head-hunter, or have you started your own company?  BFN.  Paul.

 PE> {at}EOT:



The hassle was with that particular company; I've got nothing against being
a permanent employee. For the moment though I'll probably keep contracting.
Even with you're own company, most contracting jobs are still through head
hunters. I didn't bother setting one up so officially I'm employed by the
head hunter.
