Not a new client, but a new job.I had agreed with the recruitment consultant that my start date would be a Thursday. This was confirmed in writing. I went out for my leaving drinks from my previous company on a Tuesday, I'd been there for 6 years and had left on good terms. The leaving do was savage, I woke up on Wednesday morning around 11am to the recruitment consultant calling me. He'd given my new boss the wrong date and new boss was wondering why I was over 2 hours late on my first day. I was in the office 90 minutes later, looking slightly worse for wear. I was a sign of things to come, I hated the job the company and left for Accenture within 6 months and now my life is perfect!
