[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was like that. With the government contracts it could take weeks to get a desk and equipment set up or activate the clearance, etc. Then I would sit for months at a time doing nothing but surfing the web. Sometimes I taught an online course and make extra money doing that. Sometimes I was consulting. I wasn't very politically savvy though. I would get bored from the lack of work and employee engagement or client engagement or my one client proponent would get transferred. There would be no one left at the client site who even knew what I was being paid to work on. I would approach HR. Big mistake.

HR, I haven't actually worked on anything for 10 months. HR would move my desk somewhere else. Maybe they would have a meeting or two with me. Next thing I know I am getting a severance package and laid off. Collected unemployment for 26 weeks while I created some consulting work unpaid until I was off unemployment. Sold the consulting work. Got another contracting gig. [/quote]

What consulting work did you create and sell? Isn't it a service?[/quote]
