Struggling with a case. I feel we should spend a bit of money on the case to avoid larger costs later.
I consider myself quite lucky in some respects, I have always had jobs fall into my lap when I have needed them, but I have also been able to walk away from jobs that arenāt working out. If Iām not helping let me know. I donāt feel like Iām helpingā¦

Nah its good man, Iāve been posting this stuff to get different perspectives. Iāve been trying get thoughts from as many different folk as possible.
Just got a message off a friend and former colleague, who I respect very much (he had said this offer felt āoffā). Turns out he knows someone that works at the company in question. This person is overworked, underpaid and doing jobs that arenāt his at all. Fuck me that is a relief. Feeling slightly better already.

Many beers will be taken.

So what pushed you over the edge - if youāre happy to share that is?
I have long had a history of terrorising cold callers. Iām sure Iām on a list somewhere.
Iāve had a couple of people phone me up lately, with thick Indian accents. The first chap asked me about an accident Iād been in. I confirmed that I had been in an accident, a telephone accident, and that someone had crashed into my phone fifteen seconds ago.
āActually, it was fourteen seconds agoā, he says, before doing a mic drop. You canāt help but chuckle, especially when it sounded so cool in that brogue.
The second fella starts off by saying āHello, my name is Edward Robinsonā.
Aware of corporate attempts to bridge the continental gap, by getting call centre peeps to watch Eastenders and anglicise their names, I say āthat is a top English name, sirā.
He says āYes, Iām loving it!ā brilliantly enthusiastically, and again, it sounds great in that accent.
Iām starting to identify with my cold calling offshore captors. Itās only a matter of time before someone tells me āwe have detected virus on your computerā and I believe them.
Agents who chase you for a CV that they need to get to a client urgently, then go on paternity leave and give you the contact details of someone else in the organisation who doesnāt get back to you.
When you feel like your coming down with some lurgy and itās a week away to a week off. And in that week itās pretty busy with cases.
#metoo - oh, wait 
The sniffles.
