>>Anyway, the down-side: It's in the City of London (1.5 hrs commute - once I've got to the train - each way - and something I've always abhorred), the travelling would cost a bomb, it's only for 3 months, then I'm back as I was.

>>The upside: In that 3 mths I can earn up to nearly half of my last yearly salary (dep on what rate the agent can blag me). The role is as the VFP guru in a team that is converting a VFP suite to C# and .NET - sort of front-ending the developers. So there's the opportunity for me to absorb that side of the business and get it under my belt for my CV.

In a similar gig I was "there" tue - thur, on the weekend looked over the work done in the previous week, added some omments / tasks and sent them to be read Mo.

Hi Tom

The days are 7.5 hrs. I've no way of knowing if such a gig could be arranged. i imagine I'd have to be there to liaise with the .net/C# team. I've applied and am waiting to hear from the agent.
