Back in the NPIA

| Phil | 06/07/09 at 09:39:11 pm | Categories: Struggle and Toil | 242 words

Well - it's offical. I'm back at the NPIA again...and it look's like I'll be with them for a little while...

As always, I had to hit the ground running and already I'm looking at some tight deadlines for a couple of key website launches. Still, it's nice to be back at the old familiar places and see the old familiar faces.

Looks like I'll be based in London for at least a week (probably 2) before I return to my old desk at Bramshill. That should work out OK as 2 weeks in London is about all I can handle at any one time.

Interesting that there seems to be real demand for RedDot work, since the OpenText takeover - in the last month I have been approached about no less than 5 contract roles; all paying very well and most the agents seem desparate to fill the requirements.

It's been kinda nice to be in demand again, after years of putting up with the normal levels of agency bullshit that most contractors experience (not returning calls, screwing up the contracts, lying about the requirements, stuffing up payments etc). It was also very pleasing to be able to dispense with the most useless agencies and focus on the few that employ staff with brains larger than a grape.
