Maybe gluteus maximus will apply

I do not think my current employer will approve of freelancing. I am more a hands on sort of person rather than a power point presentation. Shame it is only a temporary assignment.I am very much a peoples person, and not management. Only working three days a week will not be feasible due to commuting costs.
