Hello all
I'm on my first "break" between contracts. Been on the bench for a month now. I have money to last about 4 months before I need to start earning again.
I've bored myself to death with gardening, DIY and DVDs.
So I wonder, what do other contractors do for extended periods on the bench?
Surely you don't all spend your bench time watching Trisha and surfing for porn.
Do you have a hobby? Something creative? Do you have a plan B that you work on? Do you spend time brushing up your contract skills? Training for a triathlon? Learning the sitar? Plastering people's houses? A second ad hoc income?
I want to do something productive (preferably profitable) for the next time I'm on the bench.
What activities are suitable for a bright young fella with potentially weeks of free time, at least once per year?
