        like many contracts, it probably doesn't exist!

          Pimp: Yes, we're just waiting to hear back from the hiring manager... blah, blah, blah
          Pimp: White noise...

          Are you sure it’s not £65000 ?

          If not tell me more

              Current contract with client A due to finish on the 20th of December. Extension was/is on the table but I declined. Clean break, both sides handled it in a polite and professional way. I don't exclude going back in the future.

              New contract with client B already lined up and due to start on January 6th.

                from and up to are the best phrases ever created for marketing. It (more than it should) annoys me that so many people fall for that.

                UP TO 60% off!! Yes, that one pair of second-hand boxers at the back of the store has 60% off.

                I'd not fancy spending 120 days in the equivalent of a small wooden box with no windows, probably above the smoke-ridden casino and next to the nightclub.

                But you might

                  Going back to one of previous client.
