      Year at current client and they've decided not to renew now due to budget reasons. Hey ho. At least they've given me three weeks notice. Not cool just before xmas of course but there we go.

      That's contracting I guess. Originally it was only going to be a three month gig and, at the back of my mind, I never saw myself doing it long term. Bit of a trek every day.

      Oh well, would have rather the warchest a little bigger but there we go. Wish me luck.

      Or does anyone want a handjob?

        So you've had 9 months longer than you expected and they have given you three weeks notice they didn't have to and you are still miserable... Just no pleasing some people is there.

            I just thought to myself, that's the best British male soul vocalist I've heard in my life, I was completely blown away.

            I still hold that opinion to this day, though admitedly I was slightly swayed when I saw Simply Red tour the Stars album back in '90.

              Nah Im not miserable. After xmas would have been better of course even if I finished at xmas.

              Client is good as gold and they have told me with 3+ weeks to go so fair play to them.

              I'm ambivalent about it. To be honest, every extension I think, Jeez can I get something closer to home but then I think, its a good client, go on then another 3 months. So this has forced my hand somewhat.

              Probably worse thing is that mrs has started new job a few months ago which she really loves. If you remember, shes been ill for a few years. I'd managed to sort hours out with current client so she could work shifts etc.

              New client may mean new hassles with childcare :-(

                  Face Value was/is an excellent album. And PC is an awesome drummer. Ask any drummer.

                    Which you means you will be negotiating these prior to signing, correct?

                      Yes, client was interested. But it was Swansea, rate was little lower than first discussed, and not as much WFH as was originally offered (i.e. only 1 day a week). It got put on hold but I sort of told the agency nah.

                      But its back on jobserve today I see, so, as you can imagine, I've had a change of heart lol!
