"We understand your position, hence the offer of subscription based pricing at reasonable terms to you and with brak clauses inserted as you asked. However, having your head of IT shake on a deal with our CEO and then two days later you come back and say you want to build in-house is somewhat surprising. We agreed to cut the price by £200,000 in order to get it on the books for a Jan 09 delivery as agreed with your CEO and CTO.
It should also be noted that unless you can prove you have systems and controls in place to the FSA your bank is, by letter of law, operating illegally when it has no way of settling XXXXXXXXX. Feel free to use Excel and see how many XXX XXXXXXX XXXXX you can get through in a day since you made most of your XXXXXXXXX team redundant two weeks ago. You might want to raise that with your compliance department before deciding to spend 8 months coding a proprietary system in India and the budgetary and risk implications that raises."

I have 2 major meetings before winterval, which should tell me whether to run like the wind out of this place, or stop around for a bit longer
This week however, I am covering reception in Wallasey again - which means that horrible long commute every day
dolly's gal
killing things
i cannot fucking wait until christmas. it's going to be the best and is MUCH needed in terms of having a long break. bring on the winterval, i say. bring it on now!

Fuck you Dave!
Mine too - I blame not feeling well but I think it's just that I can't be arsed
Maybe I'll have some lunch to cheer myself up
Same
But that's because every fucking call I make now ends in the inevitable 'blah blah decision in new year blah fucking blah' - so what's the point in even trying? It's the same every fucking year - why does the whole business world stop turning on 1st December??
I am pretty much getting the same thing.
Trying to counter this by asking people when they are making their decisions. If they say January then I tell them they are getting put on my to-do list as I have other people who want my time more urgently. This is so far not making any difference at all but makes me feel a bit better.
Been a shitty year all in all but most companies seem to be planning one month at a time so I (hope) get the feeling that January is gonna be really fecking busy! If not then we are really in fecking trouble, more so than we are already!!
I get it every single year. It's pathetic. It takes a couple of days to move into a small office, max. I can get them up and running within an hour. Why do people put off doing anything for a WHOLE MONTH?
And no one ever moves in January anyway.
Right, gonna phone some scumbags and argue with them about their companies to cheer me up.
Some good news today though.
My colleagues worked a food event last week so got some freebies:
Bottle of Cava
Bottle of Balsamic Vinegar
Box of Schwedenbomben
Big bag of hazelnut wafers

I am irritable. Been trying to ignore it but I am irritable.
So - to my colleague, you are a very dear friend but you are NOT going to lose weight if you have lunch from Wasabi everyday. And we are not talking sushi but teriyaki and stuff. And I know 50p is a lot to charge for a bit of BBQ sauce but you didn't have to buy it. You may like it on your rice but it is NOT the necessity you think it is. Please, please stop going on about it
Thank you
