oh yes they will understand the money part..

This project was beyond me...so I suggested contacting the local college and seeing if they had someone that would be good for the project...

Enter cocky young contractor....I know everything attitude.....

Personally I doubt he would last long in a corporate environment...he has no personal skills...blames everyone and everything else for failure....and underestimates his co workers

Yes he did a good job writting the requested interface.....but lacks the other skills that will keep him his job....when questioned about the additional network traffic...he sloughed it off..... maybe our devices have a bug and his attitude and disregard for our concerns tweaked my spidy sense ...so i stated to look further into it.

The other people working with him directly have also voiced complaints on his attitude as I suggested using him on another project which is delayed where he could write a similar application......

So we have a cocky kid...close to finished said project coming in and playing network games, using P2P software and extending his time here doing nothing....

and as far as I know without a contract, AUP or documentation.

I come from a corporate environment....and have worked for local governments......I now live in a small town and work for a family business.....

I am now going home to .....and dream of the day the kids are done school and I can leave this fookin place
