It would prevent me from posting in the forum to see them :D PS I think I should see a 13 year badge once I post this. If all you want to do is look at your badges you could just go to https://stats.free-dc.org which is linked near the bottom of your account main page. Thanks for that. I'm actually not that fussed about badges, but some other projects show them when looking at your account, so it would be nice to see them in our accounts here as well. But not a major issue for me. In fact the only reason I posted was because of the mention of 13 years, and I realised I have 13 years here as well. Edit: BTW that's actually quite useful - I didn't realise how many badges I had at various projects!

Are you SURE...'clients' means working for yourself and then getting paid on a VERY infrequent basis. Sometimes they pay right away, sometimes they pay 'later', and 'later' could mean 3 or 4 months down the road while YOU keep providing your services essentially for free! I mostly worked for someone else when I was working, I am now retired, but did do some pc work on my own for others that mostly paid me on time. But it was frustrating when I would put in 6 hours of work and they would say 'thanks but I don't have any money this week I will catch you next month', I say 'okay' but inside am saying 'arrrgh!!' A pretty accurate comment! Winning.

Probably not that often yet, but at least I'm here! :) Hope to hear from you again, soon. Soon enough? Kinda sorta, yeah!! And once again Wow, you are going for a record!!![/quote] I said that to a client recently. I emailed my invoice to him and seven minutes later I got an sms from his back that payment had been made! (It was available in my account the next day) I think I'm definitely winning.

I was in my late 20's and other things on my mind! It's also like watching paint dry, but at least with paint watching you can get high on the fumes! That's good!!! Wow, that was a long win! Oh I can't win I started this thing, I am just waiting for others to jump in and WIN!! JUMP Like that?

And thanks for the nice F1 info, mikey. No problem, btw that was a LOOOONG win!!! I needed it, since I couldn't post here! I had set No New Work while I was favouring some other projects. I didn't realise I had done that for so long! Winning again! It's not a problem! I too have set my pc's to NNT here as I am too close to passing my teammate. I have to wait for him to crunch some more so I can then do some more. Winning again!

Perhaps I should mention that a win on this thread is imminent? Post often! I have been patiently waiting everyone else is just taking a break though. You don't have very long to wait... That IS a good thing!! Congrats mikey! You're the winner!!! The rule was, the last person to have posted when I check this thread on my birthday! So happy birthday to me, and happy WIN to you. Enjoy the win, and start the new one :)

I am glad your daughters car was an easy fix, but your wifes car does seem a bit more troublesome, and now the phone problems!! Is the phone how they contact you for your next jobs? If so get it fixed first, it pays for all the other fixes. Yes it is. Instead of looking at my wife's car I dug out my old phone and carefully positioned the micro-sim to work in the mini-sim slot! It worked, so I was at least contactable. The next morning I put the battery back in my S3 and was extremely happy to see it worked again! Although settings had reset, including the clock, but that's a minor inconvenience! So definitely winning, although I have to look at the car tomorrow - er make that later today! It's 03:28 here :(
