  13. @lanettecream Yes. Do whatever the client needs that you are willing and able to do under whatever terms you agree on.
  14. @lanettecream You worked with no contract? Not even a verbal contract?
  15. @lanettecream What distinction r u making? To me, consultant is in the business of advising. Contractor is not employee; works per contract.
  16. twitpic.com/9r4wdm I bought deskcat a mat. I thought it would be more comfortable. He chooses to lay next to it; not on it.
  17. A novel way to relocate? Why was moving the building necessary? What made moving it worth $12 million? #ReportingFail reut.rs/KOJc5L
