Interesting findings. My current contract finishes Jan 8th (although I have a vague feeling it may be extended because some new projects are cropping up). The only thing worrying me is that in April I’ll be in the US for a 3 week family holiday, which might put off some potential clients looking for 3-month contracts, so I may be benched from Jan until May.
Ah well, I suppose it will be a good opportunity to get the garden shipshape before summer!When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice - Ayn Rand, Atlas.Comment
