I have ceased working for a Canadian company and moonlighting for a company in London; I now work full-time for a company in London, from my office in Canada, which is rather excellent, though have *you* ever tried concentrating for an eight-hour stretch when all your colleagues clock off for the evening at the end of the first hour, and then you ( Read more... )
