heck, i had a consultancy gig where the customer wanted me on-site for intro 400km away, and i had to spend a few days with no hardware at all, never mind access. also it was a high-security thing so i had to be escorted around at all times until they could sort out the badge thing. very productive week, that. at least got a few hotel breakfasts out of it.

I sure hope you got paid for just milling about.

oh loads. my rate was 100€/h for that, plus travel, food, and accommodation. not that i got all of that money but it definitely hurt them more than it hurt me.
