    Is it too late to join?

    Finished last gig at the end of August, only just getting around to realising I am benched.

      A contractor acquaintence (late fifties) told me recently he had more or less retired and just planned from now on to pick up ad hoc contracts when he fancied one. It made me realise I was pretty much in that boat. I still look for contracts but I'm always secretly delighted when it ends.

            Bristol gig all gone quiet. Email from this morning to recruiter not been replied to. I don't like it when this happens. The interviews are done and dusted, I've done all I can do ... It's like those knobs in Wolverhampton that dicked me around all summer only to tell me weeks later that they didn't win the business.

            Supposed to interview for a gig in Newcastle this afternoon. Still waiting for my interview time......

            Everything is so fractious at the moment. Promises are lies, handshakes welshed on, gentlemen's agreements not worth a fig, I'll get back to you means you'll never hear from me again.

            Money just isn't moving. Project start dates continually kicked down the road.

            Bit furking fed up if you hadn't guessed.
            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                No. It's for contractors.

                  Nothing new there.

                    Just noticed today's the anniversary of my first day at ExClientCorp. To think, a year ago I went up there thinking I'd probably enjoy it; like a lamb to the slaughter

                      Yep, like most new gigs; you go in wide-eyed and keen to please only to find the same bunch of pinky-ring fingered fek wits as the last lot
