I'm not the boss of the people as such; people are leveraged to me as and when I need them. So responsibility for the project being delivered is mine, but the work is farmed out to specialists which I manage for the time they are assigned to me.

Well, spend it on gadgets and not takeaways ;) I was in a similar position a few years ago; I got laid off from a job after nine years, luckily walked straight into this one (negotiated a month off, for a break lol) which paid me more than the old one.

The mileage *is* a bonus, I bought a car when I took this job on and averaged out the mileage allowance has paid for all the fuel used, my insurance, tax, tyres, and *the car itself*. I've basically got a free car, apart from servicing (which I do myself), MOT's and I got the garage to fix the brakes one time, because I sheared a nut off and couldn't be bothered to sort it out...
 
lol well thats cool then :D where about are ya?
 
Live on Teesside, but the job is mainly over West. I lived over there separate from my family for a while, and piled loads of pounds on. Nothing to do of an evening but eat takeaways and watch TV/play computer games...
 
yup thats what matts old job was like.. not the job hes just left but the 1 before that, 12 hour shifts sometimes with no phone calls andnothing to do, i used to come to work with him as it was just him there and there was a chippy and a kebab van 2 mins away.... need i say more lol
