    Benched

    Well last day yesterday and so now benched.

    Saw my offboarding email come through last night with all of the instuctions to turn off my access, email etc.

    Just logged in, to see I still have all my access. Got to love IT incompetence.

    So bags packed, heading off to the airport & off to the US for 3.5 weeks with the family, then back for another week with family, then out again for a week at a holiday park in the Somerset. Just need to book somewhere for the last week of the summer holidays. First full summer off since I quit my first perm job & then went contracting at the end of 1997.

    Suppose I'd better think of getting off the bench sometime in October

        One minute you're benched the next beating back offers left right and centre. Make the most of your free time while you have it!

          Can the Bremoaners blame it on Brexit?

              You fool, it was a test. They wanted to check what you would do with open access, you irresponsible scroat.

              I think and hope they won't pay you for July

                    He'll need a contract at the end of the holiday to refill the bank account...
