Double your money

Don't know what you were reading - it's clear to anyone that there's a builder analogy in there!!

Wow, I can't believe I missed that, I feel so stupid now.

wrt to the Builder example here, imagine you gave him little or no work for weeks, and show him no prospect of work coming, do you still think the builder will let a tempting contract slip by?

Had the OP been given work and reasonable chance of the contract going on until completion, then there can be a chance of doubt - moral, ethical questions etc... where is the doubt in OPs case at all?

In my last contract, I knew I was going. I stuck on like a fool...see where I am now. Out of the contract in Oct and very quiet market. I let go some really nice gigs just becase I was 'not avaiable'... I am kicking myself everyday!

Indecision is no good. Forget this myth leaving early isn’t acceptable (this only IMO applies if you’re leaving the client in the lurch); don’t worry about the pimp either. IMO, get this alleged new contract and get out of dodge and stop messing around.
