Also wanna state i got offered in-house last year because of my stats... i turned it down as it would be a massive pay cut for the same job allbeit 10hrs less per week...
Its faster to fit a 2 way hdu than find a faulty joint in the garden, its faster to share a drop than fix a drop, its faster to steal a dside rather than fix it, all of the above would probably look good statwise but in the long run is a ticking time bomb, I'm not saying that you do this, but someone who is paid by the job could havr that mentality.

Did you take in account the aspire bonus scheme for salary? I'm a high earner on it and would be surprised if I could be better off as contracor

Why would he cut it off? was it your own F connector?
