work madness

seldearDid I tell you about the client who interviewed me for 'cultural fit' and then expressed the view that i was "overqualified" for the role?
They started haggling how many days they'd need me, and then the price. Which is, frankly, ridiculous. Because out of all the developers in the company, I would say that I am one of the LEAST QUALIFIED so far as our area goes. If they get any of the other guys (I think they're all guys in Sydney and the job would be for a guy) then they'd get me ON TURBO.
So there went that six-month client contract. *throws hands in the air*
Anyway, they can't say that it was my 'fault' - unless it's a problem that I'm OVERQUALIFIED for the work they were going to do. (It was some support - pedestrian, run of the mill - and some development - a little more challenging - which I thought was going to be a nice mix.)
SO now they're desperately shoving me at anything that might stick. Currently, it's an internal project that looks pretty interesting. I'll be hoping so...
